No, they should be average.

They're writing for the average player, not the top 500 pro-esports leaguers. They need to be able to convey an experience that the average customer would likely have.

*EDIT: Ok, after watching the video yeah THAT guy is an idiot, and is well below the ability for an average person that plays video games for a hobby.

Nah. Gaming and being able to express ideas clearly and coherently about a game are two separate talents.

It always used to bug me, back when G4 was a videogame channel, that all of their video game demo reels always seemed to feature players that acted like they didn't even know the button layout for a controller, yet alone how to play the game competently.
Who is? I am!

And they should have both if they want the job.
