Custom servers are coming to Fortnite and it has players excited and suspicious at the same time.

This means players will be able to tweak things to their liking and possibly run their own tournaments if they’d like to.

The pro community is pretty excited about this change, and rightfully so.

TSM_Myth was especially excited about the potential this could bring.

I'm very happy to hear that we'll be receiving customs. It's been a journey and I can't wait to gather people and take the game to new levels in a controlled environment. Good shit EPIC. Ty ❤️ — Myth (@TSM_Myth) February 7, 2019

On the other hand, there are some players who think the timing of these custom servers is curious.

Team Liquid’s Poach insinuates the Support-a-Creator changes and custom lobbies came as a result of that competition.

the timing with the support a creator changes and customs, fortnite worried about possible competition 🤔 — POACH (@Poach) February 7, 2019

The pro community in Fortnite has been calling for customs for quite some time now, so it is possible there is some weight to Poach’s remarks.

What I think Fortnite needs: -Removal of grappler and portable rift

-buff to tac and pump

-slight buff to material gain rate

-better footstep audio

-customs for scrimmage purposes 10/10 game right there — Animal (@SEN_Animal) November 7, 2018

For now, we can probably chalk it up to a coincidence, but if Fortnite gets a ranked mode soon then something might be up.
