So, I suspect why they haven't gone with an approach like that is they want to preserve the layout for spectators. Dota is the biggest purse in all of esports, and they take the spectatorship quite seriously as a result.

as i recall, spectators receive game data, not a video stream. you can spectate in VR.

so during real tournaments they could just broadcast from a spectator in the “standard” view.
