Solary Defeats Misa Esports in Epic EMEA Masters Game 3

The EMEA Masters 2026 Season Winter has just delivered one of the most dramatic series conclusions we have seen this year. After being pushed to the brink of elimination, Solary managed to halt the unstoppable momentum of Misa Esports in a grueling, 31-minute-and-50-second marathon. While Misa Esports entered Game 3 with a massive psychological advantage—having dominated the first two games of the series with a clinical 2-0 lead—Solary proved that in League of Legends, momentum can be shattered by a single, well-executed late-game macro performance.

The Early Game: Misa Esports' Predicted Dominance

Going into the draft, the predictive models heavily favored Misa Esports with a 59% win probability. The draft was designed for high-impact disruption; with Bard, Zoe, and Jarvan IV, Misa Esports had all the tools to punish Solary's more traditional scaling composition. For much of the early game, it looked like the prediction was coming true.

Misa Esports' jungler, 113, playing Jarvan IV, was incredibly active, posting a massive 93% Kill Participation (KP). His ability to engage and create space allowed Jhin (Hype) to maintain a gold lead of +276 at the 15-minute mark. The synergy between Bard (Stend) and the rest of the team was evident, as Stend delivered a stellar performance with a 10.00 KDA (2/1/8), effectively acting as the glue that held the disruptive composition together.

The Turning Point: The Rise of the K'Sante

However, the "zone control" strategy of Misa Esports began to crumble as Solary successfully transitioned the game into a sustained teamfight scenario. The turning point was the sheer physical presence of K'Sante in the top lane. Kryze, playing K'Sante, put on a legendary performance that completely neutralized the Misa Esports frontline. Finishing with a staggering 13.00 KDA (7/1/6) and a gold advantage of +882 at 15 minutes, Kryze became an unkillable force that Gragas (Ragner) simply could not contain.

As the game approached the 20-minute mark, Solary began to secure the objectives necessary to stabilize. They secured 3 dragons and 2 barons, effectively neutralizing the map pressure that Zoe (SlowQ) had tried to establish. While SlowQ maintained a respectable 3.50 KDA, the lack of Baron control meant Misa Esports could no longer find the pick-offs required to end the game early.

The Decisive Clash and Closing

The final fight was a masterclass in frontline protection and follow-up damage. Solary's midlaner, Jool, playing Viktor, showcased why he is one of the premier carries in the EMEA Masters circuit. With a 6.00 KDA (4/2/8) and a significant role in the team's 18 total kills, Jool's ability to output burst damage during the chaotic skirmishes prevented Misa Esports from ever finding a clean engage.

Supported by the relentless pressure from Varus (Aetinoth) and the disruptive presence of Alistar (Piero), Solary dismantled the Misa Esports base. They took 5 towers and finished the game with a 63.7k gold advantage over their opponents.

In the end, Solary's ability to overcome a 0-2 series deficit and win a high-stakes Game 3 is a testament to their resilience. While Misa Esports showed flashes of the brilliance that won them the first two games, they could not find an answer for the sheer scaling power and frontline stability of the Solary roster. This victory keeps the tension high in the EMEA Masters 2026 standings, proving that no lead is ever truly safe in professional League of Legends.
