　　Both tournaments are a good sign for competitive Fortnite, according to community veterans. They mark the first time a tournament has been hosted by someone other than Epic Games which is vital to the future of Fortnite as an esport. Players, commentators, and fans hope this is the start of a new trend.

　　"The Benjyfishy cup is the 1st step at unlocking insane potential with open 3rd party tournaments," tweeted Fortnite commentator Arten “Ballatw” Esa who is casting Ninja's tournament series. "I'm saying--if this is where I think it is going...I am very optimistic in the future of comp Fortnite. Imagine a world where ESL can run an FNCS style qualifier... IN GAME."
