Like, I can't even believe the argument is being made that it's totally okay because we're on different sides of the bracket. What the hell reason is there for us to be in the same pool in the first place, especially given the plausible scenarios listed that we'd end up facing each other? Out of 32 pools, what reasonable justification is there for this? It's like you said, being from the same region is one thing, but this is completely unnecessary.
It's not like nobody on staff knows who we are either. This has been a rough year on both myself and Red X in many ways, and none other than Alex Strife was there to offer support to me when I was at the lowest point of my life. I just don't get how this could not only be approved, but justified.
I've tried to do what I can on my end to help this event be as awesome as possible. I'm bringing multiple setups, tried my best to hype up my region, tried to help everyone find and plan a ****load of MMs, and have been approved to volunteer for registration, security, and refereeing. And I'm no saint for doing this ****, I'm just trying to help, but honestly, is a little respect too much to ask for in return? Is "don't put me in my boyfriend's pool" an overly audacious request from someone who's been trying her best to help out with the event? I'm not asking for an easy pool, I'm not asking for any special ****. I mean, I'm not an overly serious person and am one of the most lighthearted people I know, but this is too much even for me.
If there was any proof that nobody gives a **** about low-level players, this is it. I'm forfeiting if we face each other. ****, I'm considering forfeiting singles entirely. I've lost my motivation to play in a bracket where no one respects me in any capacity, and my and Mark's relationship doesn't need us eliminating each other from Apex pools. Come on, you all know this **** is uncalled for.
