A week before the tournament, many people started to complain about the terrible seeding of many players, especially European players such as {{Sm|Glutonny}} and {{Sm|cyve}}. Even after GENESIS 6 announced bracket feedback, many still complained that the seeding was inaccurate and should be redone. In response to these complaints, {{Sm|Leffen}} had messaged GENESIS 6's seeders, telling them to change the seeds. However, not only did the seeders refuse, but they also insulted the European Smash scene - infamously comparing them to penguins - and other smashers such as {{Sm|NAKAT}}. <ref>https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/1089375754205446145</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/1089379682875785217</ref> Seeder ALT messaged on Discord "so if 500 penguins entered a tournament in antarctica and i won it should i be a top 10 seed?" This has created massive backlash on Twitter, with people complaining to GENESIS 6 to fire their seeders. In response to all this backlash, {{Sm|Bear}} has stated that he was working on adjusting the seeding, and apologized for the rude behavior the seeders have shown. <ref>https://twitter.com/BearUNLV/status/1089570501498785792</ref> | A week before the tournament, many people started to complain about the terrible seeding of many players, especially European players such as {{Sm|Glutonny}} and {{Sm|cyve}}.
