(P)Rock is NOT average.
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

edit: for TLPD

Hwasin cant be put under the category of Average Joe, cause
1. He won the korean WCG in 2007
2. Excluding the last MSL he was utterly unlucky to meet everytime the future champion in the KO stage.
3. He is called the red sniper for a reason

Hwasin is a good player, actually a really good one who failed time and time again. Canata is smth completely different, he is always kind of there but cant advance any further, or the one time he was on fire got to meet fantasy and Jaedong in the same week

How is Hwasin an average joe in any sense? His recent play hasn't been that good, but he used to have some of the sharpest TvZ senses in the whole scene with really sharp builds and intelligent scv cutting. His style is something unique, and there is a reason why he boasted one of the best TvZs for a long time.

I always considered (Z)keke to be the epitome of mediocre zerg players.

Funny thread. I found your analysis to be painfully average in it's approach and outcome. I declare you the Average Joe of thread making!

For my two cents I would say (T)Light is the average Joe.

I think Hiya is most average player of all average player. He gets my vote over Upmagic because I can actually remember Upmagic's games. I can't remember any of hiya's games to save my life.

...

You do realize that "average" and "mediocre" mean the exact same thing, right? Well, I mean probably you didn't, but they do. (Except mathematically. "Mediocre" isn't a mathematical term. Yet?)

EDIT: This thread is hilarious, both in topic and execution.

Not exactly, mediocre implies possibly substandard/inferior yet passable, it's often derogatory while average is strict in its meaning, they are synonyms but not "exact"

I forget about (T)Mind more than I forget about any other notable player, but he's won an MSL so I don't know if it counts

my 2 cents is that i would propose that because the pro's win on such a scale (of like >60%) this means that the average person is actually going to have a smaller rating because when you add up all the percents , their distrubution puts the average actually at a little below 50%.

however this proposed on the untested idea that most (litterally >50%) progamers have under 50% winrate. which should be possible for the industry to survive... except maybe ive got this backwards due to retirement and lifespans....

Everyone should be looking for someone who hasn't made it past Ro16 in any leagues, has very few fans, plays standard 90% of the time, doesn't excel or suck at any matchup, and has a 40-50% winrate. The average joe is someone that nobody notices or cares about, but wins games every now and then.

the logic is flawed... average joe is a player whose name we cant even remember
