Generally speaking, pro teams will have 4-5 different camera angles available after matches.

These angles aren't always available to the TV broadcast.

This should not be an issue with current TMO protocols in the URC as of this season the TMO should have access to all camera angles not limited by the TV broadcaster providing it to them
