Solary are LFL Spring Split 2026 champions, beating Galions in the grand final on Wednesday, June 3. By lifting their second domestic trophy of the year, the club closed one of the most improbable arcs in the French scene — that of a team that went from the league's worst loser to its outright benchmark.
The final and the run
Solary topped the regular season at 8-1 and swept the upper bracket without dropping a series — past ZYB, Galions, then Karmine Corp Blue 3-0 in the upper final. Galions took the long way round, battling back through the lower bracket to set up the rematch.
The grand final followed the same script. Solary took the opening two games to lead 2-0, in control of the tempo and the map. Galions struck back with a one-sided third game, but Solary held their nerve through a tense, 44-minute decider to seal it. Zicssi was the obvious MVP — 28/11/28 across the series — backed by a rock-solid Kryze up top.
Achievements and what they mean
The title runs deeper than the scoreboard. It closes one of the most improbable arcs in the French scene. Solary debuted in the LFL in 2019 and finished their first two splits dead last, setting the longest losing streak in league history along the way — seventeen games in a row. For six years, the "loser team" label stuck: no title, no European qualification, a ceiling at fourth place.
Seven years on, the club hold the opposite extreme. From April 9 to June 3, Solary ran off seventeen straight LFL wins — a new league record, ahead of Karmine Corp's fifteen in 2021. No org had ever held both marks at once.
The 2026 season does the rest. First LFL crown in March, a title in April at EMEA Masters Winter , the domestic double in June. With two LFL titles, Solary climb into the upper tier of the all-time standings — behind Karmine Corp and LDLC OL (five each), level with Team GO. The back-to-back remains rare: only LDLC OL, GamersOrigin (Team GO) and Karmine Corp had managed it before. Individually, support Piero makes history, becoming only the third player to win the LFL four times, alongside Eika and 3XA. Zicssi y ajoute un autre premier : élu MVP à l'Invitational puis au Spring Split, il devient le premier joueur de l'histoire de la LFL à signer le back-to-back MVP.
One step remains. Reigning champions, Solary head into EMEA Masters Spring 2026, from June 8 to 15, as defending titleholders. The question of a golden road — a regional clean sweep across the season — is starting to surface. The club no longer enter as underdogs, but as expected favorites.
