WCG can use SC2 and everyone play on the BW mod ftw. That wouldn't, unfortunately, make it BW. One of the things about BW is its engine, and various tricks and micro techniques it results in.
As far as I know the BW mod simulates the behaviour of the engine though, including even the awesome dragoon ai and muta stacking.
That said, this seems like a logical choice for them. They will be very hard pressed to find any foreigners that can compete with the Korean pros at this point.

You don't know enough. The whole engine and AI are completly different.

Why did u kill best spectator game ever ? for a lesser game with better market ? bahh... I really hope Blizzard prepare an awesome expansion for SC2.

Late response, but you know nothing of counter strike lol. Why would people sponsor tournaments if people will not watch/attend, a game with no spectators will never be apart of esports.

The spectator value in that context is reflection of the game in the context of the time the spectators themselves have spent playing it. That is, the spectator value is directed toward gamers themselves. Being appealing to those outside the games circle is something i think only brood war has achieved (in korea) if even that.
