Is this bad benchy due to bad belt tension?

So I successfully assembled my mk3s kit, passed xyz calibration just fine and proceeded to print the benchy from the sd card. As you can see, poor benchy is less than seaworthy at the moment. Given that it was oriented in a diagonal manner on the buildplate, my first thought is that it is a belt tension issue? But it seems strange that it is so pronounced on one side and not the other. Before I go over tightening all the things, is there a possible cause I’m overlooking here? 

I appreciate any thoughts.

Info?

Did you use the preset for the filament you are using?

Check your belts?

Make a picture of your first layer and let us see.
