I think the more likely scenario is that the price would be $50/mo in both countries. Nobody would be willing to buy it in the foreign country, but dropping the price would sacrifice too much profit in the home country to be worth it.

Right. And this just hurts everyone in the end. The league might have half its viewers and income in other countries (lots of $5 viewers spread out over dozens of countries together add up). So not being able to sell it is a big loss. Likewise for me as a $50 viewer, since the league has less money and this less quality. Without differentiated demand-base pricing there will simply be inefficiency that means everyone loses. The geo restrictions is what enables market pricing, not the opposite.
