I wanted to point out that the version of duel item patch presented in this tournament isn't the one created by King Dumb, who used to host the more played duel tournaments in years past.
duelitempatchj is the one made by Jax which fundamentally changes how certain systems work by introducing new items and pickups that veteran players may find themselves unfamiliar with. These changes also fundamentally change the balance of the core game and can thus heavily impact the experience of those participating.
I took the liberty of updating KD's duelitempatch-v5a-2.pk3 to function properly with v5c. There were no fundamental issues so all that was changed was the removal of the SkullBarrierWepGiver replacement since that was a change made in core, and added a credits file to properly list who made the file to begin with.
You can download this patch
here should you wish to use it on the official servers for this tournament.
Thank you for your attention and best of luck to all those participating.
