Because BlizzCon is not only about SC2. It's about everything Blizzard has done and is planning on doing, and not everyone there will be all about SC2.

Wouldn't that mean there should be MORE time dedicated to the event

The format will be the same as for season finals, I'm pretty sure. They've established that way of playing a tournament in EVERY. SINGLE. TOURNAMENT this year. They won't change it for the Global Finals.


Except Blizzcon is only 2 days and have a tighter schedule. Season finals are played over 3 days. Have them have match 1,3,5,7 on stage 1 and 2,4,6,8 off stage indicates it is likely single elim brackets.

I think that a bracket is the best way to use the WCS rank for something, with 1st playing against the 16th, 2nd against 15th...

As long as the matches are bo5 I dont mind a single elim bracket. Last 2 Blizzcons were double eliminiation with bo3 all the way to the finals.
The other race is OP

Any production better than what was at Blizzcon 2011 will be exceeding expectations in my book. Tournaments produced and held by Blizzard has been lacking compared to that of MLG, Dreamhack, IEM, and obviously GSL. They better not bring that translator they hired or had in 2011. He blew one of the most memorable trash talks.

As a matter of fact, GSL held one of their finals at Blizzcon 2011 at the same event and absolutely blew Blizzard's away.

i hope they watched LoL LCS finals, that is the level of competition they have to match productionwise, and i hope the players will fight hard as well!

(pretty sure the dota2 tourny was pretty awesome as well, but i neither play or watch so)

Well, at least, this tournament will definitely beat last year's BWC. Also, it's Blizzcon, and people are definitely hyped about that!

Nope. They have to fit all of that other stuff into the same time period as the SC2 event, and give people the chance to see that and also be watching SC2. Having a limited time and packing more stuff in it doesn't mean you can have more time dedicated to one activity. Have to carve time out for some main stage Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm action.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

six hours with two streams and 4 matches per stream gives me a sinking feeling this could be BO3 RO16 T_T

So they will show every second match from the RO16 and the RO8.

mhm...

Hopefully they pick the right matches.

Not a ZvZ over Naniwa vs Nestea.

If you look at that matchup sideways your statement becomes incredibly ironic.
A person that attempts to diagnose themselves has a fool for a doctor and a bigger fool for a patient.

I hope not. Something so important decided by Bo3s would be retarded

Look at the Top 16 bracket for the 2012 WCS Championship: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2012_Battle.net_World_Championship

It was Bo5s all the way until the finals, which were Bo7. And that event happened over two days just like this will. Until we get some concrete indication as to otherwise, I'm assuming the same thing this year.

There has been a serious lack of whining and complaining on the forums the last three days or so. Everyone is primed to complain about shit that doesn't really matter.

A very significant amount of Blizzard employees spend virtually half of the year preparing just for the massive task of coordinating a two-day Blizzcon (which is why they didn't have it last year). Three days would be even worse.

I think people underestimate just how much planning and actual manpower has to go into something like this. They literally have to plan their entire company around this event, and I'm being completely serious.
