They pulled the plug on the project almost right away. Apparently, it had something to do with YouTube not being able to limit the live stream to Southeast Asian countries without it leaking to the rest of the world—where you’d need a pricey subscription to watch the game.
Oh, I didn't know that they pulled the plug.
So only a VPN is needed?
the theory was that YT has pretty good VPN detection. But they stopped doing it immediately, so probably that didn't work out.
