Joona Sotala (born 22 March 1998),[1][2] better known as Serral, is a Finnish professional StarCraft II player using the race Zerg.
In 2018, Serral became the first non-Korean player to win the StarCraft II World Championship Series (WCS).[3][4] He won every major non-Korean tournament in 2018, the 2018 Global StarCraft II League (GSL) vs. the World event and, ultimately, the 2018 WCS Global Finals.[5]
Serral is a two-time world champion of StarCraft II, having claimed his first championship title at the Intel Extreme Masters Katowice in 2022, and repeating the feat again in 2024 with an updated championship format. As a result, many consider Serral to be one of the greatest StarCraft II players of all-time.[6]
