This gets summarized by frustrated high-level players as "koreans are bad" because in those situations they CAN be bad.
Ah yes. Playing during morning in Europe is an agony, as it's afternoon/evening in Korea.

1700+ games won and idiots go smiteless junglers, feed 0/10 as Vladimir rushing warmogs and never speak English.

The Korean thing goes back to Starcraft I. I'll bet HotShotGG--or "HSGG" as we call him--played Terran. A decade ago, Koreans were known and despised for simultaneously being excellent/terrible.

"Oh I lost. Must be because I had a Korean."

"Oh, I lost. Must be because they had a Korean."

Mostly it was just frustration at seeing gobbledeguk on your screen, at a time when international language barriers were a new thing on The Electric Internets.
