The two is not related at all. A man can go from having zero game to bang machine with enough practice and patience on either medium.
I don't do well at online. Part of the reason is my text openers aren't as carefully crafted and well practiced as my live action ones. What I lack in text game, I make up in reading the social situation and acting accordingly, ie. body language which I have heavily invested in. But also (a) I'm not particularly good looking (b) while I do interesting shit I focus on doing it instead of taking pictures of it.

A guy that is good at online game is the future of game.
Chicks will adapt because the societal trend is push all communication and interaction online. Chicks are very adaptable. They're typically the people at the forefront of any social media/telecom use.
The hormones have found a way to manage the extended awkwardness of meeting a stranger - and plenty of people have hooked up, gotten married, and become parents from web encounters.
For us dinosaurs, it's adapt or move to a locale with less technological penetration.
WIA
I have done fuck all for my online game so far. My only social media accounts are on Facebook and LinkedIn. I use LinkedIn on a professional level and Facebook only for the messenger. I never bother posting anything, even my profile picture is like 1.5 years old. My Tinder pictures are my Facebook profile picture and another random pic. I don't use it that much either, I still mass swipe from time to time and get some matches but most of them are so gross you wouldn't touch them with a 5 foot pole. Out of the other ones I only met 2 of them in real life.
But what WIA said is 100% correct. Every week, less and less young women go on dates on Saturday evenings instead of hanging out at night clubs. When they finally decide to have a night out it's a girls' night out so they bring all their cock blocks along with them.
Therefore I have decided to invest more into my online game.
I created a bunch of girl accounts on Tinder to see what kind of approaches guys use. I filtered out the "hey baby u want sum fuk"s and got facebooks from the others to check out how well they were doing with girls. Guys that seemed to be serious in online dating all had;
1- pictures in 3 categories: (a) portrait / upper body photos (b) photos of them hanging out with friends © photos of them doing a hobby. And
2- Link to another social networking account mainly Instagram and Twitter, full of witty tweets/status symbols/party pictures/what have you.
It's designed like a sales funnel and the principles of copywriting (Attract, Interest, Desire, Action) completely apply. They're designed to
- get the girl to look at the guy's profile by a not particularly interesting one-line opener and a sharp profile picture (Attract),
- lay down DHV on the profile and various other social media accounts (Interest),
- make conversation and build rapport (Desire), and finally
- set up a date and take things from there (Action).
Based on my findings I started taking action. I've invested into a decent camera and a go pro. I also ordered a front panel for my iPhone (because it's cracked over the front camera lens and it's completely unusable). I took some decent looking selfie type profile pictures. I created an Instagram account and started acquiring followers. Over the winter I'll shoot snowboarding / track day related shit to make video montages, take travel pictures, open a twitter and tweet some deep type stuff to build myself some online DHV. Just having proper lighting in the profile picture increased the match count significantly but hopefully in a few weeks I'll have a much more effective fuck funnel.
Back to the original question; online vs. infield is more like, do you look good vs. can you carry yourself well enough to appear good looking?
