I think it's more successful as a tactic than you give credit, Jon (as two recent tournaments show). I find it incredibly frustrating when its done constantly (the occasional block is what it is and not worth even thinking about), and not that easy to play against (without getting physical to break away). But that could just be me.
I also don't think this is a Europe-wide thing. Although I do think there could be a split in the style of play between Southern Europe and Germany/Benelux/UK (the French being split), but we'll see if this holds out in a couple of weeks.
