8bit_Thug's PMIT Journey to end?

One of 8bit's rosters, 8bit Rampage, is taking part in the PMIT 2019 Grand Finals representing Group B. Moreover, 8bit_Thug has been a key talent at the Hindi casters' desk and has helped in solving the LAN issues that arose in PMIT 2019 Group C Finals of PMIT 2019. He apparently took upon himself the pivotal task of explaining the situation to the players in a casual encounter.

In spite of this intimate history between PMIT and 8bit_Thug, according to the latter's recent tweet, PUBG Mobile India has canceled his invitation to attend the PMIT 2019 Grand finals as a guest viewer. The streamer accused PUBG Mobile India of canceling his invite because he began streaming COD: Mobile.

COD: Mobile has been growing rapidly over the past month. It has broken the records of PUBG Mobile and Fortnite by crossing 100 million downloads in just a week. Given that a major chunk of COD: Mobile users are from India, is PUBG Mobile India beginning to feel a little threatened already in spite of a strong footing that it has?
