Galions finally end their “Silver Road” with a 3-0 sweep over Solary

After losing every final they had reached this season, Galions finally lifted a trophy by sweeping Solary 3-0 in the EMEA Masters Spring 2026 final.

Their year had so far been defined by second-place finishes. Galions lost the LFL Invitational, the EMEA Masters Winter and the LFL Spring, leading Zicssi to joke about a “Silver Road” during an interview with OTP LoL — a reference to the “Golden Road”, but for a team that finishes second every time.

This final was therefore about more than a title. Solary had become a real mental obstacle for Galions, something OMON had already admitted earlier in the season:

When we used to play them, it just felt harder than against other teams. Not in terms of gameplay, but in our own heads.

That hesitation was nowhere to be seen this time. Galions entered the series with clear confidence, as Thayger explained after the match:

I was really confident coming into the match. I told the team we were going to beat them 3-0. We’ve been working incredibly hard over the past few weeks and months.

His words were reflected on the Rift. Thayger completely outclassed Zicssi throughout the best-of-five and got the MVP, despite the Solary jungler being widely considered the best ERL player of the first half of the season.

In the mid lane, OMON also dominated Jool, with Game 1 perfectly crystallising that gap: an 11/2/7 performance on Annie that set the tone for the entire series.

With this 3-0 victory, Galions did more than win the EMEA Masters. They ended their run of lost finals, buried the “Silver Road” narrative and finally overcame the mental block that had followed them against Solary.
