So what exactly makes Koreans so much better at the game?

Has it something to do with their culture, is it their mindset or are they just literal machines designed to destroy our hopes and dreams at Worlds every year?

There has to be a reason why they always win worlds and why they are so much better than us, maybe we westerners can even learn from it.

Korea wins because SKT wins. They're just a better team over everybody else due to their experience and knowledge exceeding the game.

Thats why SKT is always the one who wins, nobody else from LCK, its not "Korea" its "SKT" being the best players in the world and proving it time and time again.

I'd boil it down to two reasons.

  1. The Culture South Korean culture towards professional gaming is much more embracing than almost all western cultures. It's basically promoted and taken very seriously (So much so that laws were actually passed that make it illegal to cheat). Kids play more games and play them more seriously. When they mature, you get players like Faker.
  2. Internet Access and Speed Internet is a lot better in South Korea than in most Western countries. Better internet means better game experience which means better players.

They put far more money, time and effort into it; though to make it to worlds it also takes a bit of personal talent and opportunity.

It's as simple as that.
