It's a really, REALLY silly tournament and a lot of fun. It is basically a walking meme, they opened up all heroes, items and map features for purchase; if you bought something, they made a skin or custom effect for it that will be used in game.

For example, if anyone picks Io:

@Livia Sadly, they stole that from another player's twitter feed. I don't remember who at the moment.
