Summary
Eliminated players are unable to properly spectate. The UI shows they are spectating another player, and the target player receives the spectator eye icon, but the camera remains stuck at the elimination location and can be freely moved around like a freecam.

Steps to Reproduce
Start a match with at least 3 players.
Eliminate one player while another player remains alive.
Allow the eliminated player to enter spectator mode.
Observe the spectator camera.
Expected Result
The eliminated player should spectate the remaining alive player and the camera should follow that player’s perspective normally.
Observed Result
The eliminated player enters spectator mode and the UI displays the name of the player being spectated. The alive player also receives the spectator eye icon indicating they are being watched. However, the spectator camera remains at the exact location where the player was eliminated instead of attaching to the spectated player. The camera can still be moved around freely like a drone/freecam.
