Link to original post: [drupal=1840]Why am I not in the SBR-B?[/drupal]
Okay, so I place extremely well in tournament, considering I play Marth exclusively. Marth vs. MK has a 65-35 match-up, and I live in a MK infested state. Furthermore, there are barely any Marth mains representing in SBR. I wouldn't even be so upset if Neo, Mike_Haze, or Roy_R were in there, but NONE of them are. Instead, we have Emblem Lord, whom I love dearly, but who doesn't play this game, and BarDull. BarDull is talented, but there's no East Coast Marth representation, now that EL has QUIT the SBR.
Now, way back last year, before MLG bought Smashboards, I filled out an application to join the SBR, I was being highly considered to join. I frequently post knowledgably in both Marth boards and character discussion. I place well at tournaments, losing generally to TOP LEVEL MKS (Shadow, Inui, DMBrandon, Ksizzle, Anti). I've beaten these players before, and I am extremely knowledge about the game, how to play, it's mechanics, and the inner workings of many characters (probably more than most people in this region). Before any of those applicants were accepted though, MLG got bought, and JV purged the backroom and split it into two. While I approve of this, no similar recruitment has been done since, so I got kicked to the curb.
I get really mad too, because I see large numbers of players I'm quite obviously better than (no names, that would be rude, and while I'm ranting, I won't be rude) get accepted. I understand that the lead TOs of various regions become SBR, because they have a significant impact on the ruleset their region plays by. Still, sometimes, I'm just confused. I'm generically helpful, skilled, and I know my stuff.
A lot of time, people IN the SBR tell me that I'm not missing out on anything, and nothing really happens, but obviously that's not true. I STRIVE for intelligent discussion, and you know how hard that is to come by on the boards. Furthermore, this only annoys me more, because if the people in the SBR think that they aren't contributing and don't want to contribute, then at least let me in so I can. I've been eagerly trying to get in the SBR for nearly a year now, and it's yet to happen.
It's frustrating, because SBR is invite only, so I don't want to be rude and just be like, "Uh, hey guys, remember me." But seriously, it's annoying because I really want to be a member, and I have to just sit here and twiddle my thumvbs, hoping to get recognized. It's even worse that other amazing players in my region like ADHD aren't even in SBR.
Anyway, I'm glad I got to rant here. Maybe if I'm lucky, some SBRoomers will see this and go "Oh snap, we forgot Pierce." Haha, as Boss would say "Then you woke up."
