Strictly speaking, sOs didn't carry his race in 2016 and 2017 (but it's not over yet), Bogus didn't carry his race in 2016, but this has nothing to do with their offline winrates career wise, and by "carry", I'm only counting their offline winrates and titles, not what they "looked like" during a game.
After more than 5 years, Bogus still ranked first and sOs ranked second among all active players, only these two guys have a overall winrates above 60% for all MUs. I'm assuming I didn't make up those data, right? Or you're saying that Aligulac's data "was just a lie"?

If he has a 10% winrate in his strongest MU, I want to know what his TvP winrate is.

Inno: 'I win about 9 out of 10 TvPs, I really feel sorry for Protoss players on ladder'
Interviewer: 'But your winrate is only 56%!'
Inno: 'That's only a record.'

And apparently Aligulac tell us Bogus is a liar due to his offline TvZ results, he can say whatever he wants, just like someone's game is always"look better" than the others.

Interviewer: 'Wait but...'
Inno: 'ONLY A RECORD!'

it was interesting to see that innovation won all the lategame mech pushes and lost most games with the early/midgame sheananigans. seems like he is just unstoppable if he reaches that maxed out mech army.

A maxed mech army is the strongest ground comp in the game, to be fair. With adequate AA, there's really nothing Zerg has that can beat it head-on.
Of course that's why Vipers and BL are so important.

The mechball is indeed stronger. Even with vipers/BLs/infestors there's no way for zerg to cost efficiently engage.
Zerg has to win by outexpanding the terran and having a higher income that overcomes the cost inefficiency. Or just do a hydra timing and end the game before the terran gets too far
It's a shame ByuL isn't as active as he was in 2015. He was the only zerg that could crush mech at it's peak

ByuL had the best ZvMech, it's true, and he had some pretty good success with it.
But when the stakes were at their highest, Game 5 of GSL Season 3 finals, Inno beat him. ByuL was tearing up after he lost that game. Game 6 was kinda just a formality, that hour-long mech game broke his soul.
Inno really gave a perfect textbook example of 2015 turtle mech. Assemble a 180-supply Skyterran army and wait an hour until Zerg literally mines out their half of the map. One desperate attack and 100 PDDs later, 1 victory. It was a brutal way of winning, but it worked.

i think in game 5 on whirlwind there was no way for dark to have broodlords ready at innovations 10 minute mark push. even though dark had perfect makro. also ultras were not out yet - the ultraden just finished. in my honest opinion: the build time of the greater is one of the problems.

I think you are right that it is impossible to get BL out so early, but that's not the point I was getting at.
Both Dark and Inno were maxed by the time Inno pushed, but both of them were maxed on midgame compositions, not the lategame ones that I was talking about earlier. Dark had Hydra/Ling/Bane with a couple Vipers, while Inno had a bunch of Hellions and a handful of Vikings plus tanks.
At that stage, Zerg not having BL (or more Vipers/Corruptors/Ultras/etc) is fine because Terran can't possibly be maxed on their own lategame comp either. Dark didn't lose Game 5 because of army composition, he lost because he let Inno siege up between his bases before the big fight.

Watching these games is what made me swear off Starcraft 2 forever. I wanted to punch my screen, and I'm just watching. Everything is a mistake. All of creation, a mistake. I'm sticking exclusively to SC:R from now on. I said my one piece.

And again, bw apologist comes on a sc2 thread just to pour out his hatred, without any objective point, it's absolute sadness.
But you know, sc2 players are so immature and incompetent ...

That was probably the best LotV series I've seen so far. I've not kept up with SC2 much since sometime during HotS, but seeing a TvZ where there was plenty of aggression, lots of tank play, and a high willingness to scrap and fight for everything on the part of both players made for good watching. Artosis made the point several times that Innovation's approach to the series was rather Mvp-esque, and I have to agree. He took chances, he made bold moves, and he seemed to have a knack for knowing when and where to make a big push. A couple of games were ended because he realized when and where to move and park his army to keep Dark from being able to consolidate his forces.
