Still, it doesn’t excuse the fact that 2017 has been a little lacklustre.
Not sure I agree with this entirely, Dark has had a lack luster 2017 because Terran has been buffed significantly and Zerg has become slightly weaker in the meta, pretty sure these were major contributions. Zerg was a bit stronger in the meta in 2016 and Dark was on fire, right place at the right time scenario.

Just like Inno is a patchterran. And Zest was a patchtoss in Season 1 2016. And how every progamer doing well that you don't personally like is a patch[insert-race-you-dislike].
Well, it shoud be terran patch but Inno Maru and TY got eliminated in 24h. Weakest race this patch (zerg) can take code s in season 1 At the end of day winner just wants it more then rest. Look PiliPili yesterday, dude was in a zone and BANG games were looking amazing.
Rankings like these will always get some complaints. For me however my reference point is the recent WESG where the Koreans and the Foreigners met. Basing on that tourney Neeb and Showtime should be ranked higher. These 2 are the top foreigners right now (w/ Nerchio as the 3rd). They only bow to top tier Korean Terrans as shown in WESG. Neeb rekked Showtime in the 3rd place match so I say he should be ranked higher than Showtime
Why is innovation #1? I'm not doubting he's a great player, definitely top 5, but it just seems like people jump on the innovation band wagon the second he shows some sparks and are ready to name him the GOAT automatically. Byun at #3? I realize he's reigning blizzcon champ, which is huge, but he hasn't had his mojo lately at all. Weak power rank all around. There is no forumula for these things, just the opinions of the author.

in terms of formula, Inno is also #1 atm, his winrate recently is insanely high. Tell me anyone is performing better than him ?

I mean...at this current moment, Stats is performing better than him because he beat Innovation.

1 series win doesn't mean he's performing better. Based on overall performance I'd still rate Inno above him. He's dominating online tournaments and won the last korean premier.

Well, with regards to current tournaments (IEM, GSL), yeah Stats is performing better. Of course, that could change in the next couple of days. The last Korean premier tournament was two and a half months ago, and I think we established that while online tournaments are good for defining one's form, offline results are superior. So going by that logic, Stats is currently (as of today) performing better. Also, since January 1, Innovation is 3-7 in wins of online tournaments.
