Solary defeat Misa Esports to reach EMEA Masters final and EWC EMEA Qualifier

’s crazy year keeps rolling, and they somehow turn every new series into the most iconic match in their history. On April 14, they punched their ticket to the EMEA Masters Winter 2026 grand final in style, reverse‑sweeping 3–2. At the same time, they locked in the second and last spot for the Esports World Cup 2026 qualifier, where they’ll get a shot at facing LEC teams to earn the right to challenge the very best squads in the world.

Solary will now meet in the EMEA Masters grand final, a team they know extremely well after already clashing three times in best‑of‑five series since the start of the year. The balance of power was clearly in Solary’s favor during the LFL Invitational (3–1 and 3–0), but things looked very different when they met in the EMEA Masters winter winner‑bracket final, which Galions took 3–1. Both teams also faced each other on the opening day of the LFL Spring Split last week, resulting in a second consecutive victory for Galions.

After the confidence boost from the reverse sweep against MISA, César “Wakz” Hugues said on OTP’s broadcast that they had been scrimming Galions less in recent weeks, aware that they would be their toughest opponents in the competition. They were right.

Both teams will get to throw down once again in absolutely epic conditions, with a first‑ever EMEA Masters title on the line for each club and the chance to become the successors to and on Europe’s throne.

Once again this year, the EMEA Masters grand final will be an all‑French showdown, the third time in the tournament’s history that we’ve had such a scenario (Spring 2022, Summer 2024, Winter 2026). For comparison, no other European league has ever managed to send two teams from the same league to the grand final.

On top of that, this guarantees the LFL a ninth EMEA Masters title out of the 18 editions played so far, meaning the league wins the tournament basically once every two editions, cementing the dominance of a scene that keeps attracting the rising stars we soon see blooming in the LEC.
