In what way? Millions watch a Barclays premier league game world wide. A World Cup final is something near half a billion.
E-sports is definitely growing but it's a long way off overtaking the top sports.

Yeah the 1 million that watch an ESL final is far greater than the amount of people who will watch Arsenal v Man United on Sunday.

Regardless of the exact numbers, this is all positive in my eyes regarding the publicity of csgo!
I think a lot comes down to our attitude. Throughout most games I've played at a high level (WoW PvE and PvP, CS 1.6 and GO) English people are among the most arrogant, a lot of us think we are gods gift often resulting in leaving little room to improve or even function in a team.

I was literally just thinking on the lines of this haha
Yes and why would you become a pro gamer in this country. Train your ass off only to be called a loser, in countries like Sweden they are viewed as successful people.
Still all that said with our population we still should be able to forge together a 5 man team.

Comparing a final to a league game is a little unfair though isn't it?
What about a Champions League final?
The 2015 final had a (projected) 180 million viewers.
I thought he was being sarcastic though?

Yeah, I sorta thought so, wasn't sure. If he was then I sorta helped him make his point I guess.
That one is, but I'm guessing so is ESL Frunkfurt (or wherever) is once a year too?
There are also other cup finals, UEFA cup, FA cup, league cup, World club cup, World Cup, European cup, plus cups from other leagues around the world.
It wouldn't even surprise me if the big Premiership games did get more than 1 million viewers world wide.
Yes I believe some of the games are pushing 3 million viewers (like Man Utd v Chelsea).
