GotFrag.com - This past weekend was the host of the Arbalet Cup, one of Ukraine's largest tournaments of the year. It featured all of the top teams from Russia and Ukraine and had some very exciting matches. The cup featured top teams such as DTS, Virtus.Pro, HellRaisers, k23 and tp.usports, however it was HellRaisers, one of Ukraine's WCG representatives and the Russian powerhouse Virtus.Pro who made it to the finals.

There was quite a big incident that took place right before the finals, long time Virtus.Pro member and Russian all star Aleksey "LeX" Kolesnikov was rushed to the hospital for heart complications. This left Virtus.Pro forced to used a stand-in for the finals, so they choose long time friend, Dauren "AdreN" Kystaubaev of k23.

Virtus.pro came off a nail biting quarter finals match against tp.usports, the Russian Extreme Masters champions, with the match going into overtime, with Virtus.Pro coming out on top 19-17. HellRaisiers polished off DTS in the quarter finals, for the second straight event, possibly removing the crown from DTS as the Ukraine Champions.

In the finals, the first map was de_inferno, where Virtus.Pro had very solid CT play, thanks to their stand in AdreN. Virtus.Pro won the map 16-9, moving onto de_nuke which would act as the final match. Virtus.Pro started off on T side where they managed to get seven rounds, their CT side play was like clockwork only letting up two rounds, winning the match 16-10 and being crowned the Arbalet Cup Champions. Virtus.Pro once again proved to be the major powerhouse in eastern Europe, managing to pull out a victory without their leader.
