Tournament Format
I think your open bracket system is strange (at tournaments). However, it works quite well so there isn't much to criticise. I love the fact that the final bracket is all single elim, however I think that if you're going to run single elimination you should consider starting Bo5 earlier and a potential Bo7 finals. This is, of course, if time would lend itself to this.
iirc SC2 is almost always finished hours before CoD, so they can probably squeeze some extra games in.

He still had to play Ninja and mOOnGLaDe to see who would advance. Advancing was unlikely for him, but still possible. However, it was like a 40-60 min drive each way for him
That was literally the most accessible venue out of all. It doesn't get more central than that. :x
I'll echo the stream downtime you've heard about a million times already. Having someone on the ground roaming/interviewing will fill time perfectly. Nothing else needed.
