Solary win their third consecutive final against Galions to secure back-to-back LFL titles

It's back-to-back titles for the “Team d’Amis“ in the Ligue Française de League of Legends (LFL). On Wednesday, Solary secured their second consecutive LFL championship after a dominant victory over Galions in the Grand Final (3-1). It marks the third time they have defeated them at this stage of a competition this year, following their triumphs in the LFL Invitational and at the EMEA Masters.

Solary have hardly dropped any games this split. Their only defeat came in a Best-of-1 against Galions at the very start of the Spring regular season, after which they went on an eight-game winning streak. They maintained their momentum even on the final day of the regular season, when César "" Hugues stepped in for Berat "" Tıknazoğlu against ZYB Esports.

This does not take away from the achievement are currently building. Now double LFL champions and EMEA Masters winners, the team is finally meeting the expectations the organization set for itself since its early days. This is made even more impressive by a roster filled with talented players who will undoubtedly attract interest from LEC teams by the end of the year, if not as early as the Summer Split.

At the same time, it is hard to ignore the perception that interest in the LFL and ERLs more broadly has declined in recent years. The departure of many teams like Gentle Mates or Team BDS Academy, along with Karmine Corp’s move up to the LEC, has only reinforced the feeling that the league is less competitive than during its peak years, two or three years ago.

The organization itself seems aware that a new step is needed, with posts directed at the LEC reflecting a desire for an open league format that would finally allow them to face Europe’s top teams on the biggest stage regularly. A level they have already shown flashes of being capable of reaching, notably with their victory over Fnatic during the Esports World Cup Qualifier.

Solary are currently halfway towards a Golden Road. Out of the six trophies available in 2026, they have already secured three. The next stop will be the EMEA Masters Spring Split, running from June 8 to June 15, before heading into the final stretch with the Summer Split.

It remains to be seen whether the organization will be able to keep the same starting five for the remainder of the season. Lanzo “” Ciajolo, in particular, was named MVP in both LFL splits and EMEA Masters and is expected to attract interest from several teams looking to strengthen their roster.
