For all the BW verus SC2 stuff, has it not occurred to many of you that perhaps they won't be playing any matches of either game?
Looking at the Blizzcon schedule there really isn't much opportunity to add in 4-10 huge show matches. The C stage (the "RTS Stage") is completely packed with their SC2 tournament all day Friday and Saturday. Unless they're going to run something at the same time as the GSL Final (highly highly unlikely) there aren't going to be any matches of any kind.
I predict (and remember this) that these guys will be there just to sign autographs and do photos with fans. Probably also to promote their sponsor or whoever is paying them the most monies these days.
Everyone is freaking out over absolutly nothing.
Going from Korea to California to sign autographs ? That would be not only absurd but also very disappointing for everybody !

Just an update, I already PM'd the OP so he'll update in a bit I hope.
Source: DES
Instead of a lengthy translation, I'll give you the one important part:
"Jaedong feels light-hearted and jovial about this trip because he doesn't have to play any scheduled games."
Scheduled games / broadcasted games / official games interchangeable, depending on how you read it, but the point is that he doesn't expect to play any matches there. So there you go people. In the words of Jaedong and according to DES, no scheduled matches for Jaedong (and probably the other three as well).
Full-time celebrity audience and fan meeting? =D

Get me a ticket to blizzcon
now.

lol
and all those theories just vanished into thin air ..

So why are blizzard flying them in to meet with fans? Doesn't seem to help blizzard much (seen from a business POV). They already sold out blizzcon in like 2 seconds, so they absolutely don't need the big names to draw people to the event.
There's still something fishy about this.

Awwww, I wanted my BW showmatch
But oh well, they will get to know fans, have fun at Blizzcon. Free vacations

This is still very fishy.
Blizzard never ever cared about the korean progamers before, and then sundenlly they decide to invite the very best available BW players? They certainly are trying something, and I hope it is in favor of BW.

1. Repair relationship with KesPA by spending for the vacation of its top 4 BW players (minus an injured Flash)
2. Let 4 top players (minus Flash) have fun in the USA, signing autographs, interacting with fans, getting stalked by creepy male nerds
3. Schedule nothing so that they all relax
4. Put something in their drinks that make them sleepy
5. Once asleep, kidnap them and hook them up to a specialized AI machine that records and learns from their gameplay
6. Release the new SC2 super-AI and have the Blizzcon and GSL champion try to defeat it
7. Once GSL/Blizzcon champion is soundly defeated, suddenly a wild cyborg Flash will appear to fight the super-AI
8. End of the world
Realistically though, I think by number 4, they'll be offered to play HoTS multiplayer for fun against each other and it'll be streamed and Blizz will make ten thousand bajillion dollars selling DVDs of the matches.
