Heads up: Servers will go offline for patch maintenance in the morning. Finish your games first!

Server maintenance is announced ahead of time, and there will be a notification on the top of the site and your client. If you want to check on it you can always find the full information over to the left under Service Status. First they will shut down the Ranked queues and give you enough time to finish those matches. Later the servers will go down for maintenance. Please finish your games before this happens. If you're not sure whether you can join and finish a game in time, just be safe and don't start one!
