erm so long i know its offline tournament?!

I have a completely different view of this. Easter European teams have been performing a lot worse online because of their bad connections. As their LANs were the most important focus, they have never been very serious about international online tournament. Earlier, where the skill of many Russian/Ukrainian teams was relatively a good deal better than how it compares to other teams internationally today, they have had extremely bad results online, showing much worse play than they do at offline tournaments. Of course, they have dissapointed when going abroad as well, where sometimes it was due to lack of experience, other times due to tought conditions and things such as visa problems forcing them to play with altered line-ups.

I think it's safe to say that Eastern European teams will rarely really play at full strength online, and they have never really had impressive results from this. Therefore, it's great to have LANs such as Arbalet Cup, where it's easier for some of the teams in the Russian and Baltic countries to show their skill and often upset some of the visiting international teams.

Hinting that known Russian players should be cheating in online tournaments (which typically have very little importance to them) is silly.

By the way, Millenium has been the only French team does better online than offline, from what I have seen. And even they have recently been performing well offline. It's mostly the Scandinavian teams that excell online, but they have also exerted some offline dominance lately, where, for instance, second grade Danish and Swedish teams have once agian been able to compete with other teams internationally.
