HLTV.org are reporting that Arbalet Cupe Europe will feature an All-Star tournament, with the teams selected by the organizers.

The teams look as follows:

Team A
Danylo 'Zeus' Teslenko
Sergey 'starix' Ishchuk
Mihail 'Dosia' Stolyarov
Dauren 'AdreN' Kystaubayev
Dmitri 'hooch' Bogdanov

Team B
Kun-chul 'solo' Kang
Min-Soo 'glow' Kim
Jordan 'n0thing' Gilbert
Danny 'fRoD' Montaner
Jonathan 'MusambaN1' Torrent

Team C
Johan 'face' Klasson
Dennis 'walle' Wallenberg
Jim 'zneel' Andersson
Marcus 'Delpan' Larsson
Andreas 'moddii' Fridh

Team D
Wiktor 'TaZ' Wojtas
Filip 'NEO' Kubski
Roman 'roman' Ausserdorfer
Martin Alexander 'trace' Bang Heldt
Danny 'zonic' Sørensen

What is interesting is that there is a certain degree of logic or rhythm to the makeup of each of the teams. Team A and Team B are intriguing superteams of players who share a common language but have likely never played together in these lineups. Meanwhile Team C is a group of players who are all incredible individual players for their teams with there being two groups (the Koreans and Americans) who can work as two man teams and then musamban1 rounding it out, who himself is known as a top notch player but whose form is lacking big international competition in a while. Team D is four of the biggest impact players in the world right now and one of the best fragging leaders, also with pairs from the same teams.

Will the Swedish team all get along and be able to function properly as a unit? Will the Russian speakers relish the opportunity to beat players whose natural teams may have put beatings on them in recent months? Will the raw fragging power of Teams C and D overwhelm the others with each having defined duos from the same teams? Just as with NBA All-Star games fans will be wondering if the teams will play only semi-serious and the games see blowouts or whether they'll treat it as a real game and fight for every point.
