On 02/25/15, starting at 01:30 PST, ranked queues will be disabled in preparation for patch 5.4. At 03:00 PST, the servers will be shut down and all games currently in progress will end in a draw and stats will not be recorded. We estimate the battlegrounds will be unavailable for 6 hours.

What do they mean by battlegrounds? Normal games will be down for 6 hours too? Or just ranked? If both then I guess I should sleep

That's their way of roleplaying the update. "The battlegrounds will be unavailable" = "you can't fight" = the game itself is inaccessible.

You can update, but until they enable logins, you won't be able to play. This lets people take care of updating their clients while the game itself is down, so you'll be able to log in immediately once the servers are ready.
