TWELVE DUDES AND A HYPE TUNNEL: SCENES FROM THE ‘SUPER BOWL FOR EXCEL NERDS'

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The Microsoft Excel World Championship was held last month in the Las Vegas e-sports arena. During the event, finance professionals fluent in spreadsheets gathered to solve complex Excel puzzles in front of an audience of around 400 people, with more watching on livestream. There was a $5,000 prize. The organizer, Andrew Grigolyunovich, hopes to turn competitive Excel into a popular e-sport where pros compete for million-dollar prizes.
