Looking good
The only real suggestion I can make heavily depends on what you want to do:
Another great EIC competition and the occasion for regiments to play a competitive format? -> The last EIC season was honestly great, with plenty of rising regiments, good storylines, good format & plenty of epic matches, especially near the end. Does not require more than that.
Something that will hype people more than just another great EIC season? -> Bring back your podcasts, they were legit super entertaining and you are made for that kind of TV show hosting role. Try to get some people that will work on other content. Give something for regiments to look up to other than playing. But alas it takes time and commitment and that's something that, if it was rare back in the days, has almost completely vanished.
GI always had an unique eyes for that kind of things, maybe he will be able to help you more than the fake hype king can ever do
