Why PMWI 2022 will not be streamed in Hindi language?

The first global PUBG Mobile tournament, PMWI 2022, is all set to begin today. The tournament will feature some of the best talents across the world who will fight for bragging rights on the global scene.

Like previous tournaments, the livestream of the program will be telecast in multiple languages. Fans can tune into a stream in a language of their preference (except Hindi).

Indian fans left disappointed as PMWI 2022 will not be livestreamed in Hindi

The tournament organizers recently took to their social media handles to announce the various streaming languages. The tournament will be livestreamed on the official YouTube and Facebook channels of PUBG Mobile esports.

Casters of various languages, including English, Portuguese, Bengali, Urdu, Turkish, and many others, will be seen lending their voices to enhance the quality of the tournament's livestream.

Quite shockingly, however, the Hindi livestream was not included in the list, which caused outrage and disappointment amongst Indian fans who love the language. The Hindi stream has enticed a lot of viewers in previous tournaments, even more than any other regional language.

Popular multi-lingual caster Ocean Sharma also tweeted about the issue, mentioning that it was disappointing to miss out on casting the PUBG Mobile tournament.

However, according to him, it was BGMI's delisting from the Google Play Store and the App Store and the scenario regarding the game's future in the country that led the organizers to leave out Hindi casting from the tournament. Pertinent to mention that there has been no official statement from Krafton regarding the same.

Indian fans are also unhappy as they cannot join their favorite BGMI streamers in watch parties as the organizers have barred streamers from doing so.
