I'm hoping for more awesome players through the qualifiers! Oh and maybe HUK through invite! :-)
Probably cause they do 0 live-stuff. Replays just got a sour taste to it, and specially when they broadcast some events several weeks afterwards. Also, their to casters (since im mindblocking HD) PainUser & CatsPajamas has faaar too many weak performances, even if PU is picking up relatively fast in good commentating. That's my 5c, shared by most of my friends following the sc2-scene.

Not just replays, but casting months after the games were played (Broadcasted mid July - Mid August, and early games featured Drewbie/Destiny still on Root, which happened early June). They also had issues such as using the Old Shakuras, and the updated version came out back in March(!!).
These qualifiers are coming up soon! Don't miss your chance to win a free flight, hotel, and food, not to mention a minimum prize of $1,000 in Atlantic City! Register now and get ready to play on Saturday, September 3rd! http://playhem.com/tourney/10619
They've changed the format to reduce lag a little bit. All you've got to do is click the word "Players" to see the sign-ups! KiWiKaKi, MarineKing, Check, and other notable players are already on there!

Oh I'm a noob, I didn't bother to check if those text were clickable.
1 thing I hope they change in the future is their bracket lay-out. You can't full screen the bracket layout, so it's very hard to read it all nicely in such a small bracket box.
Well, 7 people signed up in just the past few hours. The first qualifier was announced on a Thursday I think, just 2-3 days before teh event and it still managed about ~65 people. I'd expect a similar number or slightly higher for this one.
