Ghatak recently posted a Twitter thread about how the Tournament Organizers are destroying the BGMI community as they are not allowed to stream their POVs in the tournament, thus, hindering their ability to showcase their skills and playstyle. Regarded as one of the most successful coaches in BGMI, Ghatak has always had a strong opinion on various topics, quite often polarizing the community and fans.
Abhijit 'Ghatak' Andhare was a Battlegrounds Mobile India ( BGMI ) Esports player from the year 2019 to 2021. Now he is a full-time esports manager & coach for Godlike Esports. He has previously worked with TSM Entity and Entity Gaming.
1/5 The current scenario in BGMI tournaments is destroying the community. TOs and streaming platforms restrict athletes from streaming their POVs on other platforms, hindering their ability to showcase their skills and playstyle. This affects the entire industry and audience…

He also mentioned in his 6-tweet long thread that it is impacting the sponsors and requested the TOs to allow the players their right to their own content as "Their content belongs to them, and they should not be bound to a single platform. "#EqualOpportunity".
Fellow people from the gaming community felt that this would take away the viewership that the TOs should get and that the idea seems to only benefit the players and not the whole community. Some even wrote that the content does belong to the player and they can very well use them as VODs instead of livestreams.
Your point is very much a loss for the TOs.

Imagine if Messi wants to stream every match from his bodycam, thus taking away views from FIFA. A loss for the TO.
Seems absurd of an idea.
No, it's not.

If you cannot fulfill streaming obligations, then that's a discussion that needs to be had between the players and team management. Almost every TO turns a loss running tournaments. If you start undermining broadcast rights too, why should TO's even run tourneys?
