EPTBut what about the most average singer ever? Or the apple pie that left the most forgettable impression on your mind? Is it not due to these everyday, regular, normal (contains rude words, so beware you regularly sensitive people out there!) things that make the best and the worst stand out? Without something "normal" to compare things with, how could we define somebody as the best?
That said, I embarked on
So how to do this? The first idea that sprung into my mind was to see which race was the most played on the professional level and which team had the most members and then, looking at the players of that race on that team and selecting whomever was most average of them.
Quick quizz for all you out there then! Which team has most members as of now?

And which race is played the most?

Protoss! (Unless I counted wrong, of course.)
So clearly Average Joe the StarCraft professional has to be from Aiur.

So what do we end up with? Well, it comes down to a total of eight players. They are:

But this is where the problems start. Who of all these players can be described as most average? The only thing I could think of was looking at their ELO ratings, but seing how only a minority of them even had one it was a futile atempt. Instead I had to look at their win rating.

Bisu has won 370 out of 417 listed games giving him a 88.73% win rate.
BeSt has won 146 out of 244 listed games. 59.84%
KT.MGW)Protoss has won 5 out of 10. 50,00%
Doctor.K has won 46/101. 45.54%
TosSLove has won 15/35. 42,86%
haitai has won 1/5. 20,00%
Paralyze has won 2/10. 20,00%
GgMaN[Name] has won 1/9. 11,11%
BeSt has won 146 out of 244 listed games. 59.84%
KT.MGW)Protoss has won 5 out of 10. 50,00%
Doctor.K has won 46/101. 45.54%
TosSLove has won 15/35. 42,86%
haitai has won 1/5. 20,00%
Paralyze has won 2/10. 20,00%
GgMaN[Name] has won 1/9. 11,11%
Now clearly we can't draw any serious conclusion from this data seing how so many of the players have played so few listed games. But ignoring that we can see that the median player of the team is either KT.MGW)Protoss or Doctor.K.
However! I was not satisfied with this, oh no! In the name of true science I decided to look at all players, not just the SK Telecom:ers or the Protosses. No, instead I decided to look at the ELO rating of all active progamers and find the median, setting those with no ELO rating at the bottom of the scale.
The result? I ended up with a median ELO rating of 1962, which was shared by three players:

Funny how two of them end up with "soo" in their IDs, don't you think? After once again consulting win ratios, selected the one with the median win ratio and thus ended up with just one player. So without further ado, I present to you mister Average Joe, the progamer:
