As someone who mostly sticks to quick play and capture-the-flag, that isn’t very reassuring.

The new scoreboard allows everyone in both teams to see each other’s enemy kills, assists, deaths, damage, and healing,

The twitch watching was separate from the opt-in. You could still get into the beta from the opt-in. The twitch drops were just a guaranteed way to get into the Beta. So no, beta access didn't REQUIRE watching Twitch.
