The more I think about the prize pool distribution and the more I think it'd have been better to spread them more. The champion doesn't need 35k as he participates in the finals which guarantees to him a lot of money.

The suggestion from UHF is very good :

25th-32nd place: $750


And I'd have preferred 16 invites and 16 qualified players. 24 invites are a bit too much.

Eh, still way too top-heavy for me, the top players get qualified for a shot at an even bigger prize-pool and are mostlikely automatically qualified for the next regional as well, assuming Blizzard apes GSL's format.

1600 - 2000$ for the bottom placements and 9 - 10000$ for the winner is far preferable IMO, and doable with a 100000$ budget, let the global finals have enormous top-finish payouts instead.

New FAQ up. Looks like GSL isn't getting any more money. Well that sucks.

I think this whole WCS thing is very unfortunate. It limits the player and makes all the tournament formats the same. I think the difference in format that existed between all the different tournament hosts to be good for variety. Blizzard really shouldn't done anything more than to just help all the tournaments avoid schedule conflict.
