Profile

Incredibly skilled in fighting, Champion Zerato boasts a flawless win streak, largely thanks to his refusal to fight anyone he may be at risk of losing to. Frost Mage Zerato has been trying to pick a fight with him for a long time, but Champion Zerato keeps making excuses to avoid it.

Champion Zerato is voiced by Mickey Caputo in English, 石川界人 in Japanese, and 남도형 in Korean. Champion Zerato's hobby is rock climbing and splitting a giant rock with a tiny rock in front of a crowd, and Champion Zerato's good at being pretentious (acting cool, powerful, and laudable) and selectively choosing opponents. Champion Zerato likes people who make him stand out, those he can easily surpass and the recognition of others. Champion Zerato was released on 27 June 2019.

Champion Zerato's introduction: If you want to know what a genius looks like, eat your heart out.
