I wouldn't have thought so either, I actually only found it out by researching what kind of TV programmes have that type of viewer level. And I'm not talking about finals or games between great teams, just generally. for example one of the games which was around the 18-19 million level was England vs Sweden in 2006. For a youtuber to make a video of himself answering questions, and then for that video to get the same amount of worldwide views as an international football competition is pretty crazy imo.
And just as an addendum to my last post, I'm not trying to compare esports to real sports, it was just a random statistic I took. Obviously I get that while esports is growing, unless you're in south korea the two can't be compared in terms of popularity.
