I really don't know why it is. In Dota the Europeans are much more aggressive than the Asian teams, so it's not something in the culture.
It probably has something to do with Europeans being slower players than Koreans so very aggressive multitasking styles won't work as well where as sitting back and making a maxed deathball is easier if you're a slower player.
But there's definitely more to it than that because some Europeans are quite fast players but they generally still love to play no rush.
Perhaps it's because in Korea you know who your opponent will be in a tournament so prepared aggressive or cheesy builds are more likely to work because you can cater them to your opponent. In Europe there's basically almost only weekend LAN's or weekly cups which better suit bland, generic but safe builds you can use every game you play (ahem Kas/Happy/Ret) because you need builds which work against any opponent.
