As many have noticed, online tournaments often feature a compromise version within the current mini-Nosta pool, where games tend to be rather non-interactive and also one-sided.
In the ongoing tournament, it's already too late to change templates, but this is possible in an offline event. I suggest another compromise L+U template option: Boomerang. It has been played before in the Game of Thrones-2 tournament. It’s not popular in the lobby (but what else is popular there besides Jebs, 6LM, and Mirrors? :D). But that's not an argument; MiniNosta and Diamond aren't particularly popular either.
The template scheme is somewhat similar: there is a division into halves, with computer picks (the outcome of the games depends on finding the Grail). However, all treasure zones are interactive, containing relics on the ground. Accordingly, we get a more interactive template with competition for treasure zones in the second week, with some randomness (but not as much as on Diamond). Building up the Mage Guild and controlling the map are also required, IMHO.
