Everybody is talking about the Dota 2 Crownfall candle token that's missing for the "Lost and found" side quest. After progressing through the Overworld Map, players found out the "Always-closed Candlemaker's Shop" is the key to solving this puzzle. However, this encounter is not available after Act I.



This mission is not behind a paywall either. Buying the Midgate Pathfinder pack unlocks two extra side quests, with bonus rewards. Yet, the candle token is not one of them. Before the Act II releases, the maximum progression you can get is 52/53 missions complete. 



And yes, you're stuck with an incomplete number until the next patch. Unless you do some illegal modifications to the source code, of course. But, what did the community find out about this mystery? And what does Yurnero, the Juggernaut, have to do with all of this?



Lost and Found side quest, which requires the candle token, has a Juggernaut icon on it.






How to get the Dota 2 Crownfall Candle token?



The YouTuber Fay Dota Stuff posted a video on how to get the token through the developer console. As the user pointed out, he is not sure if this is safe to do, since Valve may detect this as a false-positive for cheating. Gladly, you don't have to do it with your own account to know that getting the token this way won't give you any new rewards.









After getting the candle token, entering the cave will show a single dialogue: "My name is Eldor the Wizard. This is my top secret room. Keep it between us, OK?"

The Candlemaker theories



The Dota 2 Crownfall Candle token is now the fuel to a number of theories made by the community. The aforementioned Eldor the Wizard recently appeared in the 7.33 "New frontiers" patch code.  The single line "new_frontiers_eldor_name": "Eldor the wizard" was supposed to be a simple Easter egg for data miners. But now it's an opportunity for the reddit user "sikleQQ" to connect it to the

ESL One Birmingham, a million-dollar Dota 2 tournament, just concluded on April 28th. The event had ample upsets and tons of spicy all-chats, not to mention the relentless chugging. All that hype isn't just vibes, but it is also reflected in the numbers! ESL One Birmingham's viewership has broken the record to become the most-watched ESL One Dota 2 tournament - by a far margin.



ESL One Birmingham's viewership reaches 11 million Hours Watched



According to Esports Charts, ESL One Birmingham reached 11.7 million Hours Watched, climbing to the highest rank of all ESL One tournaments. Funnily enough, it overtook the previous ESL One Birmingham which took place in 2019. This tournament garnered 9.7 million Hours Watched. Here are the top 5 ESL One tournaments according to Hours Watched:

In terms of Peak Views, the 2024 ESL One Birmingham also did well, breaking into the top 3 of all ESL One Dota 2 events. It stands behind ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 and ESL One Birmingham 2019. These tournaments may have garnered the highest peak views but the 2024 ESL One Birmingham had better consistency in viewership throughout the Playoffs.



In this year's ESL One Birmingham, more people were interested and engaged throughout the final few series of the tournament. In contrast, ESL One Kuala Lumpur only had a drastic surge of views in the grand final series.



Why the tournament broke viewership records







It has been a while since Dota 2 came back to the United Kingdom and the hype train there is unmatchable. As the stats show above, the previous ESL One Birmingham in 2019 also broke records. The location is great, the crowd is wonderful, but what are the main factors leading to this massive viewership?

ESL One Birmingham breaks record for the most-watched Dota 2 tournament of its series

The grand finals of the Birmingham Major just concluded. The finals of the Birmingham Major came down to Betboom who fought through the upper bracket and Team Falcons who fought from the lower bracket. Both teams have been crushing the competition, coming top in the group stage. But in the end (and after a lot of all chatting), Team Falcons came out on top and are the ESL One Birmingham champions.

Team Falcons conquer the Birmingham major 



The final series was a stomp, which was unfortunate for Dota 2 fans who wanted a full five-game series. But at the same time, it was great for Team Falcons fans as it was just a show of their dominance. In the end, Team Falcons ended up sweeping BetBoom team 3-0 without any real contention. It truly seemed like Team Falcons were in control throughout the entire Birmingham Major finals from start to finish. 







Game 1 of the Birmingham Major finals between Team Falcons and Betboom had new faces for both drafts. While Betboom brought a Visage and Bloodseeker as cores, Team Falcons brought an Underlord and a Razor. As soon as Razor got a double Static Link off, none of BetBoom's heroes could stand their ground. Game 2 of the Birmingham grand finals had a great start for BetBoom, with the squad getting quite an early lead. However, Team Falcons was not shaken. The team all itemized for Malr1ne's Primal Beast to tank up and the farmed Medusa of Betboom couldn't do much. And so, Team Falcons took game 2 of the Birmingham Major grand finals. 




WHAT A COMEBACK #RoadToRiyadh pic.twitter.com/HFncqpLPR7— Falcons Esports (@FalconsEsport) April 28, 2024




In the final game of the Birmingham Major, Betboom went for comfort with Nightfall's Terrorblade. But so did Team Falcons, with Skiter's Dragon Knight, Malr1ne's Timbersaw, and ATF's Mars. Despite the new picks, at the end of the day,

Team Falcons clean sweep BetBoom and are crowned the champions of the Birmingham Major!

This begins the Looking Glass mission. You just have to successfully catch one fish, then Clyde will finally talk to you.

The Manor Lords combat system is unlike anything we have seen in a city builder thus far. The game utilizes RTS-style elements, where players must hire mercenaries or use their own citizens to form a militia to defend their homeland or expand to new territories. To get the best results out of each battle, and keep your settlement alive, here's our guide to combat in Manor Lords.



A battle in the snow (Image courtesy of lafaman on Steam)



How does combat work in Manor Lords?



Manor Lords allows players to control and direct units in real-time, giving it a lot of the same feel as an RTS game. Players will need to use combat to defend themselves from attacking raiders and expand to new settlements.



To fight these battles, you'll need to hire mercenaries with the town's treasury and/or build your militia from the citizens of your settlement. To get a working militia, you'll need to make weapons or buy them from the trading post. For mercenaries, you will need to build up a treasury from taxes.






Once you have the necessary troops in place, you will be able to command them to move around, take or give position, and send them after enemy troops. This is the only way to claim new territory in the game, and also the only way to stop your settlement from being burned to the ground by raiders.



How to make weapons in Manor Lords 



The building blocks of any effective militia are its weapons. Players can build weapons of their own to supply the militia once they have upgraded a burgage to level 2. Once at this level, there will be options to convert those families into artisans who can create bows, shields, and spears for your militia. These are essential to getting started with combat in Manor Lords.

Creating weapons is vital to any hopes of expansion in the late-game, and will also help players get through those pesky raider attacks that happen every so
