Not a big fan of April Fool's Day on the best of years, but this year, it seems to have happened on a Tuesday! I'd successfully dodged the usual low-grade idiocy all day, and then THIS happens:
Yup - they turned us all into stickmen!
Incidentally, the cup in the middle is that $100,000 Tournament Series Trophy I was rambling on about in the podcast. The text when you click on it reads:

I'm not sure about exact payouts, but I think it's eight people on a team at that level, making a win worth something like $625. If that's not e-Sports, I don't know what is. Not quite enough to turn pro, so I don't think I'll give up the day job!
Normality resumes tomorrow...I hope...
