Liam "Mangachu" Campbell has been on the Overwatch grind since 2015 and graced the likes of Tempo Storm, Northern Gaming and Renegades. Now, he finds himself playing alongside some of the best players from around the world under the New York Excelsior’s academy team, XL2 Academy. Just barely missing top four during the last season of Contenders, XL2 roared back during Season 2 of Overwatch Contenders North America with an undefeated regular season and a strong playoffs run. Not only have they eclipsed their previous season, they now stand toe-to-toe with Fusion University in the live Grand Finals held at the Los Angeles Qualifier for the Overwatch World Cup 2018. Mangachu sat down with Esports Heaven to discuss the new additions to his team, player mentality, and his take on a Canadian slot in Season 2 of the Overwatch League. _____The event was amazing. It was my first time traveling that far, and I had an amazing time. The fans were amazing and the city was beautiful. I would go back in a heartbeat if I had the chance to.Our overall mentality has definitely improved since last season. Things were a little rough with having Nenne in Korea. When we played on East coast servers, both nanohana and I had to play and since neither of us could play Tracer, it was a little difficult, considering the meta. Personally, things have been a lot better. I struggled last season due to my hero pool not really working in the meta (other than Junkrat), so when I had to play heroes like Genji or Sombra I consistently underperformed. But with this patch, I have Hanzo, Pharah, Brigitte, Junkrat, a little bit of Mei and Doomfist. I was able to shine on the heroes I could actually play at a top level.They are both amazing teammates; it's awesome to have players with Overwatch League experience on the team. WooHyaL is someone that cares a lot about the team environment, so he is always positive and has a smile on his face. TiZi is the best main tank I've played with. His tank play, especially his Winston, is phenomenal and despite the language barrier, our communication has only improved.It's a dream finally come true. I've been working very hard to get into this league and I don't plan on stopping once I get there.In all honesty, it's still something that I struggle with from time to time, making mistakes in game like bad ultimates or bad calls [still] has a slight effect on me. But I have some breathing exercises that I use to help me get out of that state of mind. Another great thing about my team is how much fun we have, so when things start to tilt me I usually get out of it pretty easily thanks to a quick joke by Adam or Goliath, or some supportive comments from Nenne or Cloneman.It felt a little nostalgic. The last time I practiced against him was when Fnatic was still in Overwatch and I haven't played him in a tournament since before the first season of APEX. He was an amazing player back in the day and he's only improved since then. I hope to see him in the Overwatch League next season!For the teams that should be considered top 8-10, no. I think most of the players on those teams are either in the Overwatch League or Contenders, so they've been shown in the spotlight already. Everyone else probably has 2-3 people not in of those leagues, so for them I would agree.I would hope there is at least one team in Canada next season. There are some rumors going around with the Toronto team so my fingers are crossed. _____
