Classmancers - A MOBA Esport Story

Luke believed he'd be able to distract the enemy long enough to give Vincent a chance to escape. However…

BAM! A fierce gust of wind rammed into somebody! And, it wasn't Luke who got hit. "Say what?" He turned around in surprise.

BAM! BAM! Two more wind blasts flew across the battlefield and hit Nash, pushing him away from Luke!

"Wait, weren't you supposed to be escaping!?" Luke exclaimed. "It's GG, we're done for!"

"Or, are we?" Vincent challenged that statement. "Our situation is indeed dire, but the enemy hadn't yet finalized their triangle. As it stands, their current position holds vulnerabilities. Thus, we may have a chance yet!"

"What chance? I'm practically dead over here!" Luke ranted as he swung his sword at Renegade again. He knew it was likely a pointless endeavor, but his body executed the motions regardless.

"You've already lowered the enemy's HP below 50%," Vincent pointed out. "Once your blast comes online again, you shall claim this kill!"

"Yeah, a nice fairytale you've got there, bro," Luke said. "Except, you missed the part where I'm already below 20%! They're gonna finish me off real soon!"

"Not if I do this!" Vincent cast Cure Bless, bumping up the dead man's HP from 15% to 40%! It wasn't much, but it was honest work.

"Oh, snap!" Luke jumped. "Right, SB can heal pretty dang well. I totally forgot!"

"Indeed, Spellblade is a pathway to many abilities."

"That some consider to be unnatural, haha!" Luke laughed as he swung his blade again. His vigor was restored along with his HP.

At 40% HP and outside the Werewolf's reach, Luke had a real chance of turning the situation around! His Dark Blast was about to come off cooldown, which would allow him to kill Renegade in one fell swoop!

And, I'll also restore some HP from that! Luke realized. "Yeah, you're right, Vince! We've still got this! Thanks for the help."

"No problemo!" Vincent fearlessly stepped forward between Luke and StormMonster. The Meme Jedi does not require my aid to finish off Renegade. Instead, I shall focus on shielding him from incoming attacks!

Even though Vincent weaved some flashy magic from his Spell Stance, his class was not the typical fragile mage. Spellblade wasn't quite a bruiser, but it could soak some physical damage in Blade Stance. That should allow him to keep the enemy Werewolf occupied.

This unique balance of the class is what makes it shine! Vincent proclaimed. It provides me the flexibility to overturn even the most desperate of situations with a wide range of tools!

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

This versatile nature of the class fit Vincent's playstyle like a glove. However, Chessmaster both praised and criticized Vincent's "balanced" playstyle.

On the one hand, the versatility made Vincent an adaptive teammate who could adjust to any team comp. But, on the other hand, it robbed him of the ability to develop a strong niche for himself.

Vincent did not boast an impenetrable defense like EnduringPhoenix, he did not have the godlike mechanical skill of Gunz, and he did not possess the mastermind-level decision-making of Chessmaster.

All these players were stars who polished specific talents to the level of art. With these superb skills, they were destined to shine on the competitive scene!

But Vincent wasn't like them. Other than his ability to discover others' talents, he was not blessed with any Noble Phantasm.

To make up for that, he polished every notable skill that was relevant to the game. Both his offense and defense were passable, his game knowledge was decent, and his decision-making was above average. This made him a well-oiled gear that could fit into any team.

However, there wasn't much of a dazzling future in that. Vincent wasn't the type of player who could digivolve into something greater. And that was fine. Instead, he shall use his balanced powers to support those who have the potential to reach higher highs!

Luke is currently trying to surpass himself and reach the rank of a master. Vincent reasoned. As a natural-born backdancer, I must support his performance to the fullest! Even if my body burns to ashes, I shall defend the Meme Jedi until my last breath!

Vincent activated Pyro Trail, setting himself ablaze! He fearlessly stepped forward to confront the Werewolf, prepared to fight to the death.

Alas, StormMonster declined the duel invitation. "Yeah nah." Nash shook his head. "We're going after the DK here. Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

He dashed forward, ignoring the foe in his path. Any good horror monster knew how important it was to prioritize targets to score kills throughout the movie! Only the low-tier monsters got distracted by whatever was in front of them.

Clearly, Vincent didn't like being ignored. So, he did everything in his power to interfere.

You shall not pass! He moved in front of his foe once again. Until the Meme Jedi finishes his promotion exam to Meme Master, I shall protect him with every fiber of my existence!

StormMonster wasn't exactly "chasing" anybody at the moment, which meant his Storm Chaser talent shouldn't be active. Therefore, it should be possible to stall him.

Begone, evil spirit! Vincent channeled magic into his right hand and rammed it into the enemy's chest! It was just a basic attack, but Vincent poured his everything into it!

All this effort was only going to create a short-lived slowdown, Vincent understood that much. Nonetheless, it will hopefully give the LegendaryMemer enough time to finish off his opponent!

"Hell yeah!" Luke exclaimed. "Look, bro is almost dead!"

Jaiden's HP already dropped to 30%. From here, a single Dark Blast will seal the deal! And, the skill finally came off cooldown. Now, it was time to finish this!

"You're toast, my guy!" Luke unleashed the deadly Dark Blast! Against all odds, his Dark Knight meme was gonna come on top again!

Except, it didn't. The Dark Blast flew toward Jaiden... and right past him. It never hit the guy because bro wasn't even there!

"Wha-!?" Luke exclaimed. "Goddammit! He saw it coming!"

Jaiden effortlessly rolled the Dark Blast. It was GG.

Luke was almost there; he almost made it. If only he had fired that Dark Blast more smartly, he would've scored this juicy kill and recovered a big chunk of HP. From there, it would've been possible to turn the fight around, or at least escape.

Alas, now that Dark Blast went on cooldown again, it was over…

『You have been killed!』
