pretty unnecessary stuff. a big tournament normally has the help of discord staff and they have access to those perms.

Discord staff aren't always going to be available for the entire tournament and won't have all of the relevant information on hand, and working through a middleman just makes everything slower and harder. The Overwatch tournament had issues of channels not being made properly and people not knowing where to go because the organizers had to try to get a hold of staff and quickly explain what was needed. Giving event organizers limited permissions to make temporary channels and move people around would objectively make things smoother with no real downsides. It wouldn't even need to be a permanent role, staff could just give it to organizers before an event and remove it after it's over. I really don't see why you would be actively opposed to this beyond simply personally disliking Rand, and this would be helpful to more than just him.

To quote a current discord staff member:

not everything needs to devolve into an argument. please just pick your battles and move on so the app can continue getting feedback.
