Koreans in general high diamond + their builds are a lot more refined then say north america or Europe. For example a NA terran is going cloaked banshee expand. But he doesn't have timings per say he just does it when he has the money. Koreans when they do the same build have transition times and everything. Their builds are a lot more refined and a lot more solid. The korean player doing the same build well, do it better. I don't know why but they just do. You play the 1/1/1 on NA, then play it on korea and you'll see the difference for example (in pvt). A protoss friend of mine me and him talked about it and he said he doesn't know why but when the koreans on korea do 1/1/1 it is way way harder to hold off then when a NA terran he plays does a 1/1/1. They just know how to do their builds better and are again more refined. I have been playing on korea for almost 2 months straight now I think and these are just very noticeable. I barely play on na now due to it (and no latency playing on korea is a nice bonus  feels just like playing on NA for me :D). I play some masters terran on na who goes marine/marauder/tank attack hoping it wins but doesn't make turrets.I have yet to face a terran on korea (other then when I first got the account 6 months ago when mmr starts really low ) who ever forgets turrets when I go muta.I mean tbh it is kind of hard to explain but if you played on korea you would know what I am talking about and whiplash and any other foreign player that plays on korea. also on a side note: when zerg players in gsl get an interview and say terran is insanely strong and players laugh at them, I didn't understand it either but the terrans on korean server are insanely good. Seriously the skill difference between the average terran on EU/NA then playing korea is ridiculous. I can see why nestea complains about terran for example in his interviews lol (no i'm not saying terran is imbalanced either just saying their terrans so gosu) | ||

So I wouldn't say that Koreans in the ladder are per se better, they just tend to punish a player who's used to sitting back with too few units/not enough defensive measures and tries to quickly get to his money combo. That also forces games that rely a lot more on micro than I'm used to, coupled with the fact that playing from germany creates quite some lag for me I simply gave up and focused on EU (and US where I started a couple of days ago). I will get to know the korean ladder when I'm there <3 | ||

But their ladder is indeed much, much harder than any other server (FFs too late) Also, oh my god Korean 2 rax is so deadly just because their stutter step micro is absolutely insane. | ||
