Why does Korea always thrash every body else?
Just title

Because they're Koreans.
Koreans as a culture just go 110% on everything they do. Like it's insane the amount of effort they put into everything.

Um, no. Koreans aren't taking gold medals in every Olympic event they participate in. Their work ethic isn't higher than professionals from other countries.
The reason Koreans dominate esports is because it's the country that has the highest % of interest in esports per capita. Korea is the first Country to have a major esports scene so their organization development is far beyond other countries. They have had a pro esports scene for over a decade starting with the original starcraft. A higher interest from the populace means a larger pool of people to pull talent. It means the events generate more revenue and allow more resources to be put into coaching, scouting and so forth.
Esports is to Korea as Rugby is to New Zealand. 46% of the New Zealand populace tune into rugby matchs and NZ absolutely demolishes every other country in Rugby.
Maybe it's just personally because I know a lot of Koreans, but I assure you they go super hard in everything from Ping pong to video games to pool to soccer.
I agree that the fact that esports is so big there is a major factor, but that was said elsewhere in the thread. Korean work ethic is deffinitely a factor imo.
Well ofc they dont win every Olympics, cus those sports are more based on physical skill.
They take esports for more seriously then any where else in the world. There was a starcraft 2 pro competing in his first global tournament and he commented on how he was absolutely floored by how much fun western players were having while competing.
The west took the idea of coaches, analysts and having a support staff from Korea. The biggest difference is just in the attitude of individual players. They push themselves to succeed to almost an insane degree. Piglet and other Korean players have talking about how they've gotten physically sick when under performing due to the stress.
they don't thrash everyone anymore regions are catching up, slowly. winning and trashing are different things.
