Imagine how much smoother something like the daily/weekly cups could run of brackets and all that could be done within the game client.

I agree.
It'd be neat if someone could create a tournament through the SC2 client. They should be able set up brackets and rules (whether it's double elimination, single, group play, etc).
Then the tournament organizer could add players to the tournament and (once all players are added) randomize the bracket.
When it's time to play, both players (on the same side of a bracket for example), could have to go through a tournament menu to play (then they'll automatically play Bo3 and Bo5).
(Also the game wouldn't allow you to play with anyone else in the tournament except the opponent that actually signed up.)
Once those games are done, then the results and brackets could be automatically updated.
If done properly, it could be worth it. For big name tournaments (like GSL) doing it manually would probably be the best way but when doing it for huge online qualifiers or daily tournaments, it may be really helpful.
