They then proceeded to dominate the Upper Bracket, beating Joblife 2\u20130, Karmine Corp Blue 2\u20130, and TLN Pirates 3\u20130 without dropping a single game. In the Grand Final, they beat TLN Pirates again, this time going 3\u20131 to claim the trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Galions also finished 5th\u20136th at the <a href=\"https:\/\/thunderpick.io\/blog\/esports-world-cup-2026-league-of-legends-betting-predictions\">Esports World Cup<\/a> EMEA Qualifiers, placing right behind LEC opposition. Even more impressive, their head-to-head game records against EMEA Masters Summer contenders include 11\u20133 against TLN Pirates and 5\u20132 against Karmine Corp Blue. The team\u2019s primary obstacle is Solary, who lead with an 8\u20133 match H2H record this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond their impressive campaign, Galions\u2019 stable roster, strong 47\u201318 match record (72.3% win rate), and Knockout Matches berth give them the most direct path to the EMEA Masters Summer title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Galions\u2019 roster:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Carl Ulsted \u201cCarlsen\u201d Carlsen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Francisco \u201cThayger\u201d Mazo S\u00e1nchez<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u0160imon \u201cOMON\u201d \u0158\u00edh\u00e1\u010dek<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Franciszek \u201cHarpoon\u201d Gryszkiewicz<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Th\u00e9o \u201cZoelys\u201d Le Scornec<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nikola \u201cxani\u201d Zrinjski <em>(Head Coach)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solary (#2)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Solary follow close behind as our #2 pick to win EMEA Masters Summer 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The French organization began its 2026 campaign by triumphing at the LFL Invitational, EMEA Masters Winter, and LFL Spring. At EMEA Masters Spring, Solary went 10\u20134 in games and finished 2nd after a devastating 3\u20130 loss to Galions in the Grand Final. Across the Main Event, though, they still averaged a 3,038 gold lead at 15 minutes, which was nearly double Galions\u2019 early lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solary finished as the #1 seed after the LFL Summer Group Stage, though a 0\u20132 defeat to TLN sent them to the Lower Bracket. There, a subsequent 2\u20131 loss to Skillcamp ended their run, leaving them in 5th place. Despite that setback, Solary still opened their WSCI 2026 group with a flawless 4\u20130 record, proving that their morale has gone unperturbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of Sept. 24, Solary have recorded a strong 44\u201312 match record (78.6% win rate) in 2026, including an impressive 8\u20133 H2H against Galions. By contrast, Skillcamp have held them to a 3\u20133 game record, while TLN Pirates lead them 3\u20132 in games, making them Solary\u2019s main source of upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solary\u2019s roster:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Felix \u201cKryze\u201d Hellstr\u00f6m<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lanzo \u201cZicssi\u201d Ciajolo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kang \u201cJool\u201d Dong-soo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Berat \u201cAetinoth\u201d T\u0131knazo\u011flu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kim \u201cPiero\u201d Jeong-hoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Danny \u201cDan Dan\u201d Le Comte <em>(Head Coach)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TLN Pirates (#3)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>TLN Pirates are our ambitious #3 pick to take the EMEA Masters Summer title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite forming only in January, TLN Pirates finished 4th at both the LFL Invitational and LFL Spring. More recently, they reached the LFL Summer Final, where they managed to take a game off Galions. They have also produced respectable H2H game records against other promising competitors, going 6\u20134 against Karmine Corp Blue, 3\u20132 against Solary, and 2\u20131 against Skillcamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even so, Galions remain the team\u2019s biggest obstacle, having won only one of their six meetings this year (3\u201311 game H2H). At the heart of the team\u2019s recent success is the bot lane duo of Axelent and ThomasFate. Axelent averaged 5.9 kills and dealt 29% of TLN\u2019s damage during the LFL Summer Playoffs, while ThomasFate was involved in 78.6% of the team\u2019s kills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TLN Pirates will have to survive the Swiss Stage to make a title run, though wins over Solary and Karmine Corp Blue make them a credible dark horse if they reach the Playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TLN Pirates\u2019 roster:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Muhanad Maitham \u201cSpooder\u201d Sharad<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stefan \u201cStefan\u201d Nikoli\u0107<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tautvydas \u201cToffe\u201d Gegeckas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nikola \u201cAxelent\u201d Petrusev<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tomislav \u201cThomasFate\u201d Nanjara<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Charly \u201cDjoko\u201d Guillard <em>(Head Coach)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Honorable mentions:<\/em><\/strong><em> Movistar KOI F\u00e9nix, BIG, G2 NORD.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Will Be The EMEA Masters Summer Split Champion?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The path to the EMEA Masters Summer 2026 trophy inevitably runs through France&#8217;s top tier.
