Hi!
I'm a fairly educated SC2 fan, although now leaning much more casual. I know all of the game mechanics and races, but haven't watched a tournament in ages. I think the last time I watched a tournament from start to end was Blizzcon 2015.
As someone only just now tuning in after a very long absence, where are all of the Terran players like Polt, Innovation, Maru, Bomber, or really just any Terran players?

Plot is military. He actually qualified but had to serve. And innovation and maru just didn't have enough points for the 8 Korean slots
Polt qualified but had to forfeit his spot for military service. ByuN is a terran player who won GSL and has a good chance of winning Blizzcon. TY is also very good.
For some reason, not many top-level non-Koreans play terran, and they (non-Koreans) had eight spots reserved for them at Blizzcon.

Maru, Innovation, Bomber didn't qualify, and honestly none of the KR terrans except ByuN had decent seasons in the individual leagues.
Polt DID qualify for Blizzcon, but was recalled to Korea to do his military service 2 weeks ago and was replaced by PtitDrogo.
TY got to the final of the first GSL season to be fair.
And didn't qualify for SSL Season 1.
I'll admit TY had some good results overall this year, but he still needs to get that first tournament win. Coming up short so many times is often just as bad as not winning at all.
Yup, I don't disagree.
You watched the end of lilbich's era. Noice
Polt had an average year, you would've seen him at Blizzcon but Korea called him to do his miliatry service very abrubtly
Inno had a bad year
Maru had prob the best run in proleague in the history of proleague but dropped early in all tournaments
Bomber tried LOTV and failed very miserably
For terrans we have basically TY and Byun. I could right about Byun for hours. His story line is just amazing and hes amazing and did i mention hes a GOD? After those two we have terrans that are somewhat good, like Gumiho, Cure, Ryung, Alive.
In the foreigner scene we saw the rise of Masa and Uthermal with both being somewhat close to qualifying for Blizzcon. Bunny has been studying and didnt really make a mark this year.
Polt had an average year where he finished 1sr, 2nd and 3rd/4th in the 3 WCS events, if he attended Blizzcon he wouldve at least made 60k off of tournaments this year.
