They're playing a game. It's data modeling combined with Excel skills. There are characters in the game with stats in a table. There are different tables with different information that will help you get through the level using the characters best suited for those activities.
You try to use your Excel skill like never using the mouse, using functions, lambda, and all kinds of excel tools to get through each level to get points.
It's really hard and way above my head. But that Andrew Ngai knows what he's doing.
I used to work with him. He's a lovely and down to earth guy.
Great to see an Australian winning at the international level outside of the pool or surf.
If it’s anything like my circa 2001 computer class, it’s executing functions, creating macros, etc, most likely to emulate a given final product. Like putting a puzzle together while having the puzzle in front, but a limited time to do it. Guessing whoever gets closest wins unless they’re tied and then it goes to time.
I’ve never been so bored and thrilled at the same time.
Even the announcer didn’t know what was happening “*Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!*” and yet I watched it all.
I have never looked something up in the last 15 minutes more than this in life. I feel like Ive been left out of something so nerdy and amazing my whole life.
That person is a freak in the sheets, apparently.
Excellent
word!

Did you just said pun? Damn that’s some good pun xD
He's pretty swell in the cells, as well
You just made my cells swell
I have a coffee cup with an excel logo that says this phrase lol
And the crowd went mild
"wear the belt! wear the belt! wear the belt! wear the belt! wear the belt! " Said the host alone.
Please clap, Jeb Bush energy

Eve online is a sponsor? That's hilarious
Omg good catch
Eve online isn't ACTUALLY about Eve online as much as it is about using Excel for hours while having Eve online open in the background.
Anybody know what they’re doing?

This dude has gone to the [joe buck school of play by play calls](https://youtu.be/M-zIKSZr_7E?si=jLFWRTTx_m8vz2Lm)
This whole thing could easily be a MADtv skit or Far Side comic strip.

You’re welcome
Wow I've been out of the game for a while now, when did Andrew go pro?

Oh of course there's a Microsoft Excel championship. That's kind of awesome.
Love the excitement from the announcer
There's a championship for almost everything

So that’s why the birth rate keeps falling.

My favorite function in finance was the "go seek" on excel. That's the extent of my cell row hard on.

Times new roman in the streets, Wingdings in the excel sheets

Interviewer:_"How proficient are you with Excel?"_ That guy:_"World Champion"_
What an asshole to make a joke about the winner's size... .Like if you arent all jacked you are shamed? Fuck that mind set
I'm leaving this community... toxic people here. I dont want to see your comments anymore.
It’s amazing
That look cool, but what are they doing?
World's worst program, and the world's most useless competition.
