https://ruotuvaki.fi/-/miljoonia-tienannut-e-urheilija-joona-sotala-hankki-varuskunnan-vieresta-toimiston-jonne-voi-vetaytya-pelaamaan-vapaa-ajalla https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1cb8crm/serral_hired_an_office_next_to_the_garrison_he/ From proper_ikea_boy "The two-time StarCraft world champion does not believe that serving at a sports school will hamper his career. Joona "Serral" Sotala, who has made millions from e-sports, is not worried about the impact of service on his career. StarCraft's toughest challengers come from South Korea, where military service lasts two years. Finnish e-sports superstar Joona Sotala began his service at the Guard Ice Regiment's sports school in April. The sports school has been accepting e-athletes since 2017, but Sotala is still the first professional player to start his service at the school. The service will definitely be tough at times, but also fun, Sotala reflects. StarCraft II, which Sotala plays, is a real-time strategy game in which individual players compete against each other. Serral, known around the world, is a two-time world champion and the first non-Korean world champion of his kind. The 26-year-old Sotala rents an office in Laajasalo, next door to Santahamina, where he can train during his military service. On weekends, he plans to go to Pornais. The Defence Forces were willing to give me space here, but I decided to get my own place where I could train in peace," Sotala explains. Serral plays for the BASILISK international organisation in the USA. The team let its star player decide on his own when he would do his military service. The organisation took my decision very well. It's probably not an optimal situation for them, but they have been very supportive," Sotala reveals. International fans have been surprised to see e-sport star Sotala join the army. Many fans didn't even know that Finland has compulsory military service. Armed service is a familiar topic in StarCraft circles, though, as many professionals serve long stints in Korea. Tournaments around the world This year, Serral has played in three tournaments and has already earned a place in the StarCraft World Championship. In this year's tournaments, Sotala has won two and taken bronze in one. There are currently only five players in the world who have already earned their place at the World Championship in Saudi Arabia. Serral has earned by far the most qualification points and can now focus on the summer's giant tournament. Sotala is aiming for two main tournaments during his service. These are the ESL Masters in Dallas and the World Championship in Saudi Arabia. The event in Texas will take place just before the World Championships and will be a great way to try out the last tactics before the season culminates. Sotala is happy with the arrangements made by the Defence Forces and believes he will be able to compete abroad without any problems. Smokers surprised positively The first days in the army have gone smoothly, according to Sotala. The discipline and culture are what he had expected. The smoking buddies were a positive surprise. Some of my smoking buddies were a little surprised when I came to the sports school. In general, I have got on well with smokers. It's been fun so far," says Sotala. Despite his success, Sotala feels he is in the same boat as all the other conscripts who have just started. In the army, gun handling and shooting are also of interest to the newcomer. Shooting is fun. It's nice to at least try it out," Sotala says. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)" | ||
