When it got knocked off its perch (however much I disagree with the reasons for why) that was it. Not a single request from Europe after that moment.
Perhaps should not underestimate the power that a (perceived to be) properly setup independent review testbed can hold sway over the audience market.
Witness too the blind belief that a WCP ranked block is "fair", yet blocks tested with varying flow-rates, multiple-mounts, and pumping powers is perceived as "biased".
From what I can tell, almost the entire Euro water-cooling market is driven by a poorly setup, inappropriate, and inadequate independent testbed.
Quite frightening actually.
