CASTERS: At ACL having live casters there in Maynarde and Doble was freaking awesome!
A LOT OF CAMERAS/FOOTAGE: Getting a lot of interviews, having people asking questions, generating content, all that good stuff.
HYPE: The one thing I believe was missing from ACL was the hype surrounding the event. Prior to an event you need write-ups with a brief intro into every player so you can get to know them and have an emotional investment so you can see how they do in the tournament, also lets overseas spectators get to know the relatively unknown sea scene if it gets posted on international forums such as team liquid.
PRIZES: It was relatively unknown (from my experience atleast) what the exact prizes were for ACL up until about a week prior to the event(Btw I'm not bashing ACL by comparing them to what could be better, acl was freaking awesome its just the only major live event ive been to ), So listing prizes (and having them preferably bigger) would be good
INTERNATIONAL NAMES: I Know personally I get no bigger satisfaction than hearing when a SEA player beats some top NA or KR or EU player, so while it will be extremely difficult if you could manage to get some big international foreign players down that would help promote the SEA scene and most likely the publicity of the event A LOT which in turn will generate you income.
Good stream quality/coverage: Ensuring Stream is advertised well so lots of people can view it (being featured on team liquid is one example) and ensuring good stream quality is a must.
Being run on time: A lot of LAN events generally go over time and this can force players to be tired, but also hinders how much people watch the event on stream since if there is downtime for an hour they will most likely leave and miss future matches perhaps, So ensuring there is always content/important matches being shown can only be good.
These are all the ones I can think of off the top of my head but I'm sure people will come up with others! I sincerely hope your massive dream comes through, the SEA scene is there to be exposed for the awesomeness that it is so we need to do something about it and get ourselves out there so goodluck!!
