How to create more colorful tournaments

The esports scene in aoe2 is at its peak which brings joy to so many people and we are thankful for that. But I can't stop myself wishing for offmeta picks when ever a draft comes around. In high tier tournaments we tend to see 10-15 civs at best which is understandable given the games nature yet the top tier civs are not that far ahead from mid, even low tier civs. Obviously an S tier tournament player would want to play with top civs and practise the most with those but let's not forget that these guys almost always play random in RM so they are comfortable with almost all the civs.

I would like to see a tournament format where each player has a lot more bans then we are accustomed to. However picking and banning should be alternated one after the other to avoid eliminating all the top civs. For example;

P1 - bans

P2 - picks

P1 - picks

P2 - bans

P1 - bans

P2 - picks

P1 - picks

P2 - bans

.

.

And so on. (I am sure someone can optimize this)

This way we can get a good mix of top, mid and low tier civs in each tournament showcasing elavted mind games and more intriguing draft phase resulting in more variation and colorful games.

I understand that this is not what everyone wants but we have had so many big tournaments in the last few years with same civs repeated over and over. It would be good to showcase more civs as balance updates are frequent and impactful. Wouldn't hurt to see some civs brought back into daylight.
