UK esports organisation Molotovs and Marshmallows (MnM Gaming) have added a new player to their Hearthstone line-up.
They’ve brought Ben “xl3en” Chapman in as their second Hearthstone player, who will be playing for them at DreamHack Valencia next month.
He finished third in the recent ESL Premiership Hearthstone finals, and fifth in the UK Masters last year.
xl3en also won his first Fireside Gathering back in 2014, has cast Insomnia and WESG and has taken part in various LANs to date.

xl3en said: “I am so pleased to be joining the Hearthstone roster at MnM Gaming. I’m excited to progress even further with support from a great team.”
MnM co-founder Kalvin “KalKal” Chung added: “I am excited and honoured to have Ben join MnM.
“It is difficult to find the right players to represent you in competitions but I am confident in Ben’s ability and mentality to continue progressing in the Hearthstone scene.”
