Rock goes back and forth between entertaining and fail...which is pretty entertaining as well.

Definitely not average.

Players like Canata and Goodfriend seem more apt for this. Standard players who hover around 50% and never end up winning anything big.

OSL finalists are not average -__-

I liked the OP, even though some of the logic was faulty.

(T)Sea

never won a league, his team is always in the middle of the table, always passes the qualifiers and fails in the main tournament.

he plays terran, the average human race.

my life is average also.

He isn't very standad in his play however. You could argue that his unique style is what makes him a "likable," average joe. At least stat wise he's really close to the middle.

This is EXACTLY what I was going to say. (T)Sea is such an average player its painful sometimes (I'm a huge (T)Sea fan).

The funny thing is the rest of his team (for the MOST part) is a little bit below average so I dont think he has any risk of losing his job. Its awesome to see him be reliable for MBC though. He plays very strong and 'average', and his decision making in his recent game against (Z)Hyuk was good (not that (Z)Hyuk is very good in TvZ...).

That said... (T)Sea HWAITING.

Wow, quite a few responses that are critizising my statistical analysis! I was not expecting that, I must say.

First of all, this thread was never ment to be taken -seriously-. After all, it's impossible to state that somebody truly is the most average progamer.

Secondly, some of you seem to have mixed up my conclusions. I might have failed to express my line of thought, and if such is the case well then it's my bad. What I tried to do was to present two ways of looking at the problem of finding mr. average:

One mockery way where I just looked at the most common race and team (which any statistican would tell you really isn't a good way of finding the most average player) and one statistically better way where I -only- look at the ELO and ignore factors like race and team. Look at it again, will you? The person I selected as the most average player at the moment, wasn't even from SK Telecom.

So relax and don't take this thread too seriously, will you? Then again, I guess it is rather normal to overreact, so I guess it's all in line with the theme of the thread!

ok what? I just read that again and that's definitely unreal. No progamer will ever come close to 88% win.


The stat is clearly wrong.

http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/players/125_Bisu

229-126 in KeSPA sanctioned games.

Edit: BTW, I know OP's thread was a joke, but I don't know if he was pulling numbers out of his ass or what.

Yes, I too will admit that the number 88% was very high and made me think "now this can't be real" but I was in a hurry when I posted the thread (not that that's any good excuse though!). How I arrived at the number though might be of intrest.

Seing how the imediate stats displayed on a page is usually slightly off, I decided to manually count every win he has had that is registered in the TLPD and I counted that to 370. I then divided it with 417, which is the amount of games he has played. However, now that I think back on it, I probably lost count when I was counting and accidentally added 100. "267, 268, 269, 370". A huge blunder but an easy mistake to do.

If we calculate with 270 wins instead of 370 we arrive at 64.75%, a much more reasonable result.

I do appologize for my blunder. ^^'

He's the staple for mediocre.

Most average player is definitely (T)Hwasin.
great play, bad play, he's still doing decent.

still a cool little read. guys calm down

Though painful to say, I'd nominate (P)Much for being the average joe. Just about 50% win, sometimes lose to bad players, sometimes win against good players, but never really excels at anything, nor has he really won anything either. But he's awesome anyway, so it's ok. :>
1000 at least.
