I can understand why blizzard decide to cast these games.

Since the matches in the tournament are running simultaneously, if they choose to cast MVP and Nestea's game over everyone else's, we'll end up watching 2 days of SC2 with at least MVP or Nestea in almost every single match. I'm sure people on TL would LOVE that but that would not be fair for the 14 other players who also qualified for this tournament. They deserve their chances to be on the stream as much as Nestea and MVP. But you need to remember MVP and Nestea are without the doubt the heavy favourite to meet in the winner bracket final as well as grand final. So we will get to watch them eventually.
As much as I love sen, I really wish to see a non zvz before GSL final =( thats actually a really good point, so many amazing progamers that are overshadowed by just a handful of accomplished progamers. give some attention to the lesser known ones!
I gotta agree with this too. I don't mind watching the lesser known players make a name for their selves at blizzcon. Especially "ming" the chinese guy. His so good o.o.
I still stick with Blizzard having prepared videos for each player from their qualifications to show off is the reason MVP & NesTea aren't being shown(Because they didn't need to qualify).

3.5 hours to GSL finals yay ! Is it actually today or another day? Im so confused :/ Obviously today, since it's in three and a half hours.
Where I live... 3 and a half hours from now is tomorrow.
The 3 and a 1/2 hours from now should have been a sufficient and more clear answer than whatever answer "today or tomorrow?" would have generated.

Congrats for being smart. Still to be fair Blizzard could have handled the streaming scheduling better, its obvious this scheduling is meant more for a convention(which Blizzcon is) but tey could at least throw us a bonce. In the end I don't mind too much. The games have been cool, the production has been superb and they always release replays

I don't really think thats the reason. I mean eventually they will have to show their games, its not like they couldn't ask Gom to shoot some footage for them

SC2 players play 9 hours a day and maintain normal looking bodies and mannerisms. WTF is with WoW dudes, no wonder theres such a stigma!

how much fapping time does Blizzard think we need?!?! wtf is this 45 minutes downtime, it's like they prepared a schedule beforehand and decided it was OK for us watch 45 mins of trivia between matches? THAT IS NOT OK. OK?

Yes, because the clock passing midnight means it's day 2 of blizzcon..
How dare people not take your timezone into consideration.

You're not paying $40 for SC2. It's for the panel discussions, HD, and foo fighters.

The downtime is horrible -.-... All their staff are probably busy running all the event around the venue but at least give day9 a mic and a camera, he will make magic happen =)

I don't recall last Blizzcon beeing that badly organized although i have to admit the standards probably had been alot lower last year. I mean there have been so many absolutely amazing tournaments in the last months. What i don't quite get is why the regional finals had been so much more organisation then this.
