NAOL Profiles: Ben Mantle

Chris Garlock | Published on 12/7/2023
Ben Mantle 5D -- aka BenKyo Baduk – is a full-time Go teacher and content creator from Toronto, Canada who’s been playing Go since 2006.

“I'm happy to be reviewing for the NAOL,” he says. “I spend most of my time running BenKyo League, a many-faceted league and community experience based on Discord, doing group classes and one-one-one lessons, streaming on Twitch and creating YouTube videos. There's more to it than that but I really enjoy this entrepreneurial challenge (which) forces me to face my weaknesses and improve myself and I get to dedicate my life to Go!”

The EJ is profiling key figures in the North American Online League in this series. Tomorrow: Kevin Yang. Check out Season 1 game reviews here.
