My thoughts? Code S should not be completed in a single week. People want more matches, casters want a decent and constant workload (not cast 1 week then nothing for the next 2) and everyone wants something to watch long term.

The solution, as usual, is rather simple. Instead of doing it over 1 week, do it over 4.

Week 1, Day 1: Match 1 x 4 Brackets (4 x Bo3)
Week 1, Day 2: Match 2 x 4 Brackets (4 x Bo3)
Week 1, Day 3: Match 3 x 4 Brackets (4 x Bo3)

Week 2, Day 1: Match 4 x 4 Brackets (4 x Bo3)
Week 2, Day 2: Match 5 x 4 Brackets (4 x Bo3)
Week 2, Day 3: Up/Down Matches x 4 Brackets (4 x Bo3) - to eliminate 4 players down to Code A

Week 3, Day 1: QuarterFinals x 2 (2 x Bo5)
Week 3, Day 2: QuarterFinals x 2 (2 x Bo5)

Week 4, Day 1: SemiFinals x 2 (2 x Bo5)
Week 4, Day 2: GrandFinals x 1 (1 x Bo7)

Everyone gets their matches. You can get 3 sets of casters for 1 day/week (Manageable workload, the casters that can take more can do more than 1 day) and viewers will get the awesome tournament level games they wish for.

Similarly, Code A should run concurrent with this. I suggest Wed-Thurs for Code A (also roughly 4 x Bo3 or a series of Bo1 as it is right now), Fri-Sun for Code S. It'll give people something to watch most nights and give our casters things to plan around and practice.
