Solary definitely end years of heartbreak with their first EMEA Masters trophy

They were playing for every title there is. They got them all. Seven years after their creation, Solary have finally lifted a trophy — and not just any. After claiming the LFL, they have now conquered Europe, defeating Galions in the EMEA Masters 2026 Winter Grand Final to complete a historic double. But the fairy tale does not end here, it only begins.

Seven years in one split

For seven years, Solary had been the team that was always playing for the title — a running joke in the French scene, repeated split after split, never backed by a trophy. Not a single domestic title, not a single EMEA Masters appearance. Then came this split, and everything the organization had been chasing since day one arrived at once: a first LFL championship, a first European campaign, and now a first regional crown. The joke does not land anymore. The relief was written all over Head of League of Legends and co-founder Wakz's face on OTP's broadcast :

Who would have believed it four months ago, when we were really in the sh*t, that we'd win this LFL, win these EMEA Masters — it's a joy beyond words.

The rivalry settled

For the fourth time in barely a month and a half, Solary and Galions met in a BO5 — and for the third time, it was Solary who won it. The Grand Final ended 3-0, but the score tells only part of the story. Game one was a statement, with jungler Zicssi setting the tone on Pantheon before Solary rolled through the map. Games two was far tighter. Game three turned into a bloodbath, both sides trading blow for blow until the very end — but when the decisive teamfights came, Aetinoth and Piero, respectively on Jhin and Bard were the ones making the clutch plays.

A connected, composed collective that kept finding the moments that mattered. Composure is also the perfect word to describe their jungler since the start of the year, Zicssi once again delivered today across all games and proved worthy of the Finals MVP title. If they even needed one, here’s yet another reason to catch the attention of the big leagues...

What’s next ?

And it does not stop here. By reaching the final of the EMEA Masters, Solary have secured their spot with Galions at the EWC 2026 EMEA Qualifier, where they will meet the LEC teams for a ticket to Riyadh. A team that had never reached a European stage before this split is now one step away from one of the biggest competitions in the game. The ceiling keeps moving, and Solary keep climbing. CEO and co-founder LRB is already setting the tone:

Isn't it time to show that the LEC are frauds?
