Quarterfinalists are guaranteed at least $24,000 in prize money, while the championship will win this year's largest prize purse of $210,000. The broadcast is scheduled to begin on Friday, Nov 01 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) (visit BlizzCon.com for more scheduling information).

Yeah, that seems to pretty much be it. Still hoping for soO to go crazy and somehow make it but that dishonourable hive meta in ZvZ is just not his thing. Imagine if a year ago someone would have said that soO could win the global finals by playing three ZvZ matches... it would have sounded like a dream come true.
Classic really doesn't seem to have much of a chance though. They matched him with the world's best ZvP right away. With the current state of the game his chances seem to have gone from unlikely to impossible.

soO already had one opportunity to win BlizzCon out of his ZvZ, but he failed.
Rogue's ZvP being the best in the world? Maybe, maybe not; he surely has the most abusive playstyle in ZvP. Classic might surprise us with some tailored builds, I would be delighted.
