Tencent not allowing any PMWI watch parties from three countries

The watch party contest will offer a prize of US$75,000 to the 10 best watch parties. Creators from participating teams can stream the watch parties on their official team channels on Facebook, Trovo, Twitch, and YouTube.

However, officials also mentioned that creators associated with teams from China, India, and South Korea won't be able to take part in the contest. One team from each of the three countries will be participating in the Main Event. Fans from India were expecting their favorite creators like Mortal, Dynamo, and Jonathan to hold a watch party as there would also be no Hindi livestream of the event.

In his latest stream, popular Indian streamer and owner of Team Soul, Mortal revealed that there won't be a watch party from his side or from other creators associated with Team Soul. This announcement cleared the dilemma regarding watch parties after the removal of BGMI from Google Play and the App Stores.
