Craig,
It is a start. If we have an online event presumably players will prepare for their opponents, this will both improve their own opening repertoire and expose weaknesses in other players repertoire. That would appear to be helpful in preparation for Olympiads, individual events and other things.
I am not saying that this is a panacea, I am simply saying it is a start. I would also note that getting the players together like this might actually be a very effective way of canvassing opinions and talking about effective training methods going forward.
