Alyssia Menezes was sold on MECC the moment her professor played a hype video in class. What followed was a journey from knowing only =COUNTIF to becoming president of a competitive Excel team and an international athlete.

Ryan Yuen already had a solid Excel foundation before he ever heard of MECC. An actuarial science degree and a data analyst internship had given him more than most students start with. What he had never considered was competing in one. A single conversation with a friend changed all of that.

Juan joined in December 2023, but didn’t start competing until he was ready and watched the MECC Championships 15 times. This is how a slow approach has turned into a special journey where learning and self-discipline are at it’s core.

When Austin Safer from Messiah University first heard about MECC through classmates already competing, he thought it sounded fun. Two years later he was on the Las Vegas Finals stage, using skills built through MECC to stand out in a New York investment banking internship. Discover how Excel Esports changed what Austin thought he knew about both the tool and himself.
