[quote]I hadn’t realised that CS:GO was so much more popular to watch than Starcraft 2, considering Starcraft’s been a pillar of the eSports community for more than a decade.[/quote] SC2 is boring to watch when it's mostly just hotkey mashing. CSGO has a lot more spectator friendly gameplay.
im pretty sure it was 12k off 1 million...

[QUOTE=ashrobhoy;47333351]im pretty sure it was 12k off 1 million...[/QUOTE] What happened is that the GOTV viewer count is delayed at removing duplicates (I believe until after the match?) so it peaked over 1 million before dropping down to 980k again. Though if you include the people watching in the stadium it's probably over 1 million anyway without duplicates.
