Organized by the people behind the Financial Modeling World Cup, the Excel "All-Star Battle" took place back in May. It began with eight competitors, who went up against one another in a series of spreadsheet-based challenges until eventually a champion was crowned. The action might have been difficult to follow for us mere mortals, if not for the live commentary, interviews and post-tournament analysis, all of which were delivered with an enthusiasm to rival any other sports coverage.

The network launched its coverage back in 2015, before becoming the first to broadcast an esports event in a prime time slot three years later. It hasn't all been plain-sailing – ESPN had to call time on its daily esports coverage for cost-cutting reasons at the height of the pandemic - but the continued willingness to embrace events like the Excel Esports All-Star Battle shows the broadcaster plans to stay the course.

It might come as a surprise to some that there is an appetite for a spreadsheet-based esports tournament, but the rise of streaming culture has proven there's a market for pretty much anything.
