Solary claims first LFL title after seven years

It was expected for years, and the cycle finally broke this Friday, March 6.

Solary

claims its very first League of Legends French championship title after dominating Galions with a resounding 3-0 score in the grand final of the LFL Invitational Winter 2026.

With this victory, the Touraine-based organization secures a historic consecration and will represent France as the number 1 seed at the EMEA Masters Winter, closing one of the most iconic story arcs in the French scene.

This new roster's success bears the mark of César “Wakz” Hugues, who returned this year to lead the League of Legends section. Under his guidance, with help from Uko and Blazzios, Solary built a renewed team around Danny "Dan Dan" Le Comte, already head coach last year, and Fabrizio "Gine" Ginestroni, his assistant who becomes the first LFL coach in history to win the title with two different teams.

Felix "" Hellström, loyal to the club for three years, finally sees Solary's “curse” broken after years of brushing glory. Lanzo "" Ciajolo, voted split MVP, embodies the academy-to-pro dream that started in 2021—he lifts the major trophy today. Kang "" Dong-su, the South Korean midlaner brought from Brazil, delivered clutch coolness and creativity throughout playoffs. The botlane duo of Berat "" Tıknazoğlu and Kim "" Jung-hun, rivals on the EMEA Masters stage last year, became France's most dominant pair.

Piero, in particular, delivered a grand final performance and claims a unique status in the French championship. With his third LFL title and well-deserved finals MVP, he becomes the first player to win back-to-back LFL finals with two different teams.

This triumph also holds symbolic weight for the LFL. Only Solary and Vitality.Bee remain among the league's historic founders still competing, and seeing one of them lift the trophy feels like closing the loop. Solary succeeds a Karmine Corp Blue promoted this year to LEC Versus, opening space for a new generation of French champions. Who better than Solary, the eternal underdog, to seize it?

This first title is more than a sporting win: it's a symbol. After sixteen splits of waiting, Solary proves perseverance pays without betraying its community roots or relying on big budgets. Just weeks ago, the club hosted the “Hess Event,” a Twitch live fundraiser to support their operations and facilities.

The 2026 League of Legends season thus kicks off powerfully: curses fall, stories renew, and the LFL gains an inspiring figure to carry its colors on the European stage.
