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.

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.

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

Pitch-forks at the ready! To battle we go!

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.

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.
