Yo I’m 6-0 rn in tc and getting deck checked

I know it’s been a very long time since I’ve made a post. I still have been going to almost every op event in NA but just a bit depressing posting about all the times I failed to make T8 this year. This weekend I was at my first EU regional at Wolverhampton and I feel like I was robbed of my chance of top cut/invite. Earlier in the rounds, I got deck checked. There were 6 completely different cards in my deck that have bent corners and I was told to change those 6 sleeves which I do in front of the judge and my opponent. This was also suppose to be a warning but I was never told that by the judges. Fast forward, I’m x-1 in beginning of rd 9 and I lose becoming x-2. I get deck checked again and another few different cards have bent corners and because it’s the second warning (just now being aware it’s the second and not the first) they give me a game loss for rd 10. They were very adamant about giving me the loss no matter what I said. They also said my sleeves were not 100 percent opaque (they were more like 95 percent at worst). They never mentioned this in the earlier deck check. I’m guessing some people might say it’s my fault for not maintaining sleeves in good condition but there’s probably not a single sleeved deck without bent corners. Even if sleeves are brand new, the shuffle wear is likely inevitable on the first day. There’s a decent shot invite might still get passed down. This was also my first and last EU regional of the season so we only got one shot. Also, will be playing in TC tmr so hoping for better luck.
