Galions are EMEA Masters Spring 2026 champions after sweeping Solary 3-0 in the grand final, capturing the first major trophy in the organization's history. The result completes a turnaround for Galions, who had fallen to Solary in three straight grand finals earlier this year before finally breaking through. The League of Legends series, reported by Hotspawn, was decided in dominant fashion, with Galions controlling the opening game and closing things out in a chaotic third map.
A One-Sided Opener
Galions set the tone immediately in Game 1, running Solary off the map with a 26-4 kill advantage. Mid laner Šimon "OMON" Řiháček was a driving force behind the blowout, going 10/2/7 on Annie as Galions built an early lead and never let up.
Solary Push Back, Then Fold
Game 2 was closer, with Solary keeping pace through the early and mid stages before Galions' teamfighting again proved decisive in the late game, according to Hotspawn's recap. Down 0-2, Solary needed a response in the third map to keep the series alive.
A Chaotic Finish
That response never materialized. Game 3 descended into all-out chaos, with the two teams combining for more than 50 kills before Galions closed out the sweep and the title.
Redemption After Three Grand Final Losses
The championship carries extra weight given the two teams' recent history. Per Hotspawn, Galions had lost to Solary in a grand final three separate times earlier in 2026 before finally getting the better of their rivals when it mattered most, in the Spring 2026 final.
What It Means Going Forward
EMEA Masters serves as the top tier of Europe's Regional Leagues (ERLs), sitting below the LEC. Hotspawn's coverage frames both Galions and Solary as playing above the level of a typical ERL side, with their showings in EWC Qualifiers and scrims raising questions about whether either squad could be considered for LEC promotion. No formal promotion, prize amount, or further qualification was confirmed in the report. With the Spring 2026 crown secured, Galions close the chapter on their run of grand-final near-misses against Solary and enter the rest of the season as EMEA Masters' reigning champions.
