Debuting at a relatively young age compared to his sunbaes, Jamie Pucca displays all the potential traits required for becoming the most prestigious Brood War Idol Caster of our time - that is assuming Sayle grows up, EleGant lays his life for the queen, L_Master moves on and makes the full switch to classical singing, hacklebeast disappears with the Brood War Zealot Eywa*, and BDogger is hunted down by the russian mafia Yoda lead by.
And unless NinaZerg finally proves the existence of the Boob, as that is clearly what our community demands to acknowledge its member.

If you're wondering whether Eywa is the guy who promised like a 40k $ BW LAN championship, repeatedly confirming he has the money, yes, that is the guy. If you're wondering whether the championship happened or not, you might want to reconsider and stop reading this blog now.

Pucca has shown before he has got the stamina, the personality, the passion that drives us all and, most notably, the overlays he would astonish his viewers with on various occasions. Covering countless leagues, tournaments and other projects, Pucca was determined to do it all, taking upon new challenges as he was overwhelmed with his existing duties.

As any decent idol caster, Pucca faced some controversy when, after some 9 months of casting, it was discovered he has never played the game he repeatedly claimed to love so dearly. Prompted by the suggestions of his singaporean brother, Pucca decided to take upon the challenge, sharing his progress at his fan cafe.

Instead of encouraging the young hero, the TL netizens flamed the fresh up-and-comer as he shared his doubts and contemplated quitting his efforts.

Following his dream of learning which unit does what, the young idol took on the challenge of casting the Coca-Cola CSOL (or whatever) 2000+ something, featuring his favorite progamer, Boxter* (*not my typo).

The young idol finally debutes with a masterpiece that would soon start a mania on TL, sweeping all the charts and getting to the frontpage 3 consecutive seconds of your last nightmare.

The idol caster was destined to run into more trouble, however. For whatever reason, the elitist Brood War community would consider the neverending flow of discoveries such as...

...slightly inappropriate, coming from an underage idol caster.

Pucca was subsequently harassed and assaulted by the community when his singaporean brother Lorenzo hacked into his account to share his opinion on the elitist Brood War camp.

Clearing up the issue, Pucca conveniently shared news of his upcoming comeback using the mediaplay in his favor.

After discovering that Brood War isn't in fact entertaining at all and workers are evil, though, Pucca decided to share his findings with the elitist community. The hostile TL community continued to bully him posting dreadful comments such as:

with the aforementioned, once a scrub caster, Sayle leading the front:

...which eventually lead to another SCANDAL, supposedly performed by the TL's very own moderator team, logging into Pucca's account to post a revolutional musing masterpiece:

With SirJolt shamelessly denying his romantic correspondence with the underage idol,

and the admin team forcing the victim into plastic surgery with false promises of future fame and glory,

the misunderstood idol was done with TL for good.

Reflecting on his past actions however, Pucca's sister Lorenzo decided to clear his lover by delivering Pucca's offering to the TLS production team and defending his friend:

but being a true Brood War hero, he does not give up on his quest to convince us that "Brood War just isn't worth it"*

*Eywa, the Brood War Zealot

and Legionnaire is just a no one...

Now, the community is faced with perhaps the most difficult choice yet. A choice that will be an ultimate reflection of its controversial past as well as determination of its future. Do we stand up for the young, shattered idol caster or do we tolerate the evil moderator team masterminds that ganged upon an innocent soul to destroy the dreams and laugh at a young man's face with their fancy icons?

Can we get our act together? Or are we too elitist to change our ways?

Massive amounts of shitposting and drivel, but honestly the jab at Legionnaire was the crowning jewel for me. Well deserved ban. -_-

lmao I love the Legionnaire part.

Pucca is ok when he's not posting shit, he's done a bunch, he just has a hard time with stuff so I guess he gets angry too easily and then throws everything away. If he gets past that, I think he can be a good contributor.

Entertaining, and comic sans to boot!

I kind of afked from TL for the past 6 months due to school and had no idea why people were hating on Pucca so much. He seemed to be an up and comer who put some time into making fancy overlays and stuff. Now all of my questions have been humorously answered. Ty Stratos.

This story should really be one of late-blooming, a DocVoc slow-blosomming if you will (ok that's not fair sorry. I mean Racealitar), a gentle simmering of hormones and videogames I remember Pucca being really dedicated and professional. He had great commitment, overlays, concepts, and terrific drive to cast and put out tons of content. The production quality was there, leaps and bounds ahead of others in most cases. But the fatal flaw, his caster-idol Achilles-heel if you will, was lack of game knowledge and textbook nerdiness.

Game knowledge: Not there. Understandable for someone with a past childhood affection for BW, but little to no [competitive] commitment over a long time-period. Problem with our lingering community? We're sticklers for quality, not only production-wise, but game-smarts. Simply put: you can't be a successful caster for die-hard fans if your grasp of the game is weak. The only solution would be straight-up laddering, studying, and devoting a massive amount of time trying to get good at an old game, when you're just about to go to college (see: bad life priorities).

Textbook nerdiness: Again, tragically predictable. It is a let-down that our BW community was to immature to support him properly. To recognize our past and younger selves in his attitudes, and give him the benefit if the doubt rather than hitting back unforgivingly. Way to go on the empathy front guys. Real mature. Take issue with someone on issues that can be attributed to immaturity, in an immature way yourself. Sadly, the only way people grow, mature, and become more self-aware is by going out there and living. Except sometimes, the backlash from those efforts can be so great that they give up, which is sad.

And to think - there was a time my ambitions and desires were equally solely set on casting. But then I ~~grew up~~ went to college and realized that, instead of building a really expensive/powerful computer and spending all my time [broad]casting videogames to anonymous guys on the internet, my life would be far better spent growing up, blooming, and developing core [social] skill-sets I was dearly lacking.

You've got to recognize how everyone's journey is a journey of self-discovery, a digital timeline of life lived in the virtual realm. Poetic

P.S. HOW 2 GET COMIC SANS? WANT!
