Call yourself International e-Sports Federation. Make tournament in Korea, without Korean participants, but also without coverage outside of Korea. WTF?
Thanks for updating Liquipedia Looks like there are some surprising results already (Goody T_T). To be expected of course with BO1 matches.

Kalin did not have a valid passport (according to the Bulgarian eSports Federation), so they replaced him. According to a Bulgarian website, it is Petko "Kose" Dilchev who will represent Bulgaria for SC2. (Source)
On 2.09.11 they announce that there will be qualifications tourney on 15.09.11
On the 12th they announce that the tourney will take place at 10 in the morning on the next day.
After the tourney they announce that they require a scanned copy of the winner's passport by 15:00 on the same day(at first they require the winner to bring his actual passport to their office, then they say only a copy is required).
Not only the winner, but no player that participated in the tourney is actually able to fulfill that requirement, the player that was sent did not even participate and is an unknown.
The only player in sc2ranks with the nickname Koce is in silver.

I guess the amount of work to have a stream of the tournament would have been minimal. Especially compared to the price money they put into the tournament.
I mean it's BO1, and both Zergs have taken games of the best, so it is not that surprising and Goody was not that much above the other players in the group.
