I think we simply don't feel thats incredibly important. I acutally don't think an announcement of it was planned. Its $10000 total. I have to change the split since I originally planned with a double elim bracket but I swapped the format to
4x6 player Round Robin groups > 8 player single elim playoffs.
I will have Liquipedia reflect that change and go live with the format.
Any other questions let me know,

Thanks for the info!
I write news about SC2 to the Finnish audience and all tidbits help. The format is sweet as I am in favor of single elim over double elim personally. 
I think the prize money is pretty important in categorizing the event, and it is also included in the Liquipedia tournament Tier calculation. In addition, the prize money split is very important to the players I'm sure.
Edit: Was about to ask about start times for groups but I managed to find the info in the Liquipedia edits:
Group A - Friday June 30, 11:00 GMT (+00:00)
Group B - Friday June 30, 16:30 GMT (+00:00)
Group C - Saturday July 1, 11:00 GMT (+00:00)
Group D - Saturday July 1, 16:30 GMT (+00:00)
Playoffs start - Sunday July 2, 12:00 GMT (+00:00)

There is no incredibly specific reason for SE over DE. I usually put up the format and I thought after a round robin based on 6 players SE looked better than DE , especially with 8 players (for me). If I wanted to play DE I would have preferred to advance 12 players and credit the quarters to #1 ideally.
So yea - combination of time-requirements (starting at 2PM instead of 1PM) and not wanting to finish very late. In addition I have a soft spot for being able to show EVERY GAME. We will have each and every game covered at HSC23
via Main + CatZ + Steadfast.
Probably not 100% the reasoning you wanted but the best answer I can give you.

I personally like round robins because it guarantee a minimum number of games per player.
I don't know how my suggestion affects scheduling - my suggestion is to have each group played over 2 days, rather than doing 1 group at a time. This keeps a player "interested" over 2 days rather than being knocked out in the first day. Don't know if the players prefer this or not.

Since the goal was to show every match, it creates certain logicistcal problems I assume. It is much easier to manage six players at a time instead of 24.
