A new organization has entered The Nexus, and they've recruited a fan-favorite roster.

Bob Ross Fan Club has signed with Team Naventic, a newly-rebranded organization that has chosen to acquire the Heroes of the Storm roster as their first team.

Less than an hour after the ink had dried on the roster's contracts, the members of Team Naventic spoke to theScore eSports about their new organization and how they perceive their competition moving into the North American regional.

"We have the same goal — to be the best in the world," support Ken "Kenma" Buechter said.

CEO Jack "Vandy" Frierson noted that the organization — previously known as Swarm Gaming, but with no ties, contracts or teams retained from that prior incarnation besides Vandy himself — chose to enter Heroes of the Storm first. But Naventic's long-term plan is for this team to be the one of many rosters across different eSports disciplines.

"We want to compete with the Team Liquids, the Fnatics ... and have teams across multiple major eSports," he said.

The organization's name, Vandy explained, is a combination of Greek and Roman prefixes which is meant to translate roughly to "Our Victory."

The first major test for the roster under the Naventic banner will come on the biggest North American stage so far this year, as they face down the best that the region has to offer at Heroes Championship Los Angeles at the ESL Studios in Burbank, CA.

Still, assassin Chris "Zuna" Buechter isn't worried about the competition. He says that the team is very comfortable with the current meta, and the only thing that could change that would be a last-minute balance patch.

"Right now, if they don't touch it, I feel super confident that we'll get top two really easily," Zuna said.

The roster's formation in mid-November 2015 saw several high-profile competitive players come together under the Bob Ross banner, and they quickly developed a reputation for an aggressive playstyle and a cutthroat drafting strategy.

The roster has already met with substantial success. They took the first Enter The Storm NA cup handily, defeating all challengers in North America at that time besides Cloud9, who were absent.

The loss of Taylor "Arthelon" Eder to Cloud9 in late December now seems like one of Bob Ross' fabled happy accidents: his replacement, Fan "Fan" Yang, has seemed a much better complement to the roster in terms of hero selection, capabilities and personality. In a previous interview, Kenma described him as someone who is "much more serious like the rest of us and has a lot of input during strategy discussion."

But the team's biggest victory so far was the defeat of Cloud9 at Heroes Rising. Fan's win over his old team came as a relief, as "[I] felt like I had something to prove in grand finals as well reading all the articles about the event beforehand that said C9 was untouchable, among other things."

The team's name is changing, melee/flex Stafford "McIntyre" McIntyre said, and now with the support of an organization, the game takes on a more serious dimension.

But he notes that it's impossible to fully discard the roster's sense of whimsy — the same playful nature that led the team to reference Bob Ross in their name in the first place.

"I think of our time as BRFC as sort of like being in college [...] but we have to move on, enter the real world with Naventic," he joked.

Support for the team through that transition will now come from an organization, but in the past the team has sometime depended on fans. The team held a successful crowdfunding campaign to send the team to Heroes Rising, showing that there was certainly substantial fan interest in the roster.

Warrior player Aaron "Erho" Kappes credited the enthusiasm of their fans for the opportunity to play at Heroes Rising, including a singular fan with the handle "FLCarGuy" who contributed a substantial amount towards that crowdfunding goal.

For Zuna, the signing means that the team can continue to focus on dominating the competition both in North America and the rest of the world.

"In some ways, we were just working for free before — now we're getting paid," Zuna explained. "It's not going to change how we play, but we have much better support now."
