No, it wasn't incompetence or laziness; management was being spiteful to her for no good reason. Remember that time when she asked for perms to host a cross-branch Fall Guys tournament, and management not only told her no, they also permanently revoked her tournament-hosting perms?
>but her Apex tournament
was sanctioned by EA themselves. Niji was not gonna hamstring their own business relationship with a multi-billion-dollar behemoth just to hurt Selen

The reason why management didn't know that perms were needed until the last second was not because they were unaware that perms were needed, it was because they hadn't yet decided on what perms she would need but could never get. That's why they decided that she would need to get perms from graduated livers in order to be allowed to use their likenesses, despite the fact that (A) Anycolor owns the IP rights to those livers' likenesses, and (B) the rule requiring graduated livers' permission had never been enforced before or since.
