Do you have any article where it's explained more in depth.

Why are koreans so good at league, what makes them excel at video games so much more than any country in the world?

League is like the most popular activity for teenagers. Almost all my Korean friends play league; they also spent countless hours to train for it.

Other regions are looking a lot better this year IMO.

Expecting Koreans to take it as usual, hoping another region does though.

Don't have any specific articles to link you to as to why Koreans are better, however, if you follow the league scene it just makes sense as to why they are so much better. 

1) In Korea being a pro video game player makes you basically a pop star (you are seen in a different light than the average person might see you in America or Europe)

2) They make way more money through advertisements from video games so there is a higher drive to be the best

3) In Korea, more people have access to better internet than the U.S. or Europe (internet cafes and there are no ISPs, it's all centralized) (Higher player base)

4) In Korea professional video game players usually have required play times in their contracts in which they have to play competitively for 10-12 hours, 5-6 days a week

Just sorta rattled off a list of random things that contribute to why Koreans are better at video games than us.

All in all, there are just higher standards for people who play video games in Korea and the culture has evolved around that much faster in Korea than in other places.
