CHAMPIONS OF EXCEL, YOU’LL NEVER SING THAT 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

The 2025 Microsoft Excel Championship just wrapped in Las Vegas.

It was an epic battle: former Deutsche Bank I-banker Diarmuid “The Lebron James of Excel” Early (Ireland) edged 3x champion and actuary Andrew “The Annihilator” Ngai (Australia).

Early beat 11 opponents in various 30-minute Excel case study challenges over 5+ hours (including origami-folding in an Excel module).

The champ also previously cut his teeth with spreadsheets while consulting at BCG and currently runs a data analysis consultancy.

Best parts of the tournament for these spreadsheet athletes include:

▫️This clip below of live-stream announcers losing their minds over pivot tables and data labeling (as the clock winds down).

▫️The tournament has its own theme song with lit lyrics including “it’s the battle of the titans, the best keyboard tappers in the land / they’ve all been training for this moment, who’s getting stuck in the function sand?” at the (2:00) mark.

What did Diarmuid get for winning? Massive relief. Look at his face when he wins. Camera zooming in on near tears of happiness.

Also a $5k cash prize and a glorious Wrestling Championship Belt.
