you can't really be "a champion". that's like saying "an Empire State Building". you're either "the champion" or just "champion" (the latter, in this case.
"such a little time" should either be "so little time" or "such a short time". you can't mix and match those, it's just convention. it's similar to another classic ESL tell which is "how did he look like". no, you either say "how did he look" or "WHAT did he look like". "how... like" is redundant.

Yeah, your English is a little off, but it's not so bad that I couldn't understand it. That guy's reaction was unreasonably harsh.

You used the word "little" where you should have used "short," which makes it sound weird to native English speakers. That's the only thing that sounds off to me, anyway.

instead of "little" you should have used "short amount of" to make it read more native
