Amazing stereotype, care to share any more?

It only applies to SC2 apparently. Dota 2 is immune to the lazy foreigner problem, since all the EU teams are rocking out right now.

As a chinese person who's spent a significant time in both the U.S. and China, I think the reason comes down to culture. Asians are just super competitive and value hard work and thinking outside of the box. That's not to say it's not this way in Western culture, but it's certainly not enforced nearly as much as it is over here. In places like Korea China and Japan, where the population and available jobs ratio is very high, people are taught from an early age that if you're not going to break your neck when it comes to getting an education and working towards a future, you're gonna be left in the dirt. This philosophy pretty much becomes part of many people's very being.

But like some have already said, this doesn't mean all asians are like this. In fact still slackers regardless. If you look at how korean pro's get to where they are, you'll see that they were the few among the many who participated in off-line qualifiers determining if they were good enough to be a pro-gamer. So a combination of a huge pool to draw from plus different values placed upon people by the culture, and you see why Koreans end up dominating.
