the server started going up and down around 3am and i was seeing all kinds of goofy stuff between then and now. sometime in the wee hours one of our teams changed to have a super weird color instead of their normal color. i don't know anything about what happened but the server was in all kinds of weird states throughout the night, sometimes it was down, sometimes it was half down, sometimes it was partially up and returning goofy windows and web server errors that probably shouldn't really be displayed to users.

when it came half way back up a couple hours ago, the forums were down, the main page was displaying 1 day old games, and there were a whole host of other things not working right. i think we should all take a few minutes to try some stuff and look for issues - it seems like they were recovering in stages which generally means some stuff falls through the cracks. i don't mean that in a demeaning way, just the way it is!

I just can't figure out why China would hack into What If Sports.

They want the game???? Also they wanted Buzzer beater but no Mobile APP was involved.

has been ages - years -since we had an outage in HD so far as I can recall

I think this has happened once before about 3 years ago?

Three years sounds right. Long long ago there were more outages/glitches

Anyone know if teams will have practiced overnight -or did the pause also pause practice. Talkin about practice.

Not a good look for all our new guys coming in.... "so some days it doesn't work and it just crashes? This sucks I'm outta here!" type of thing.

On another note, did any worlds have a title game last night? I'm curious for my champions thread. Not sure if it will ever show the teams/names on the main page with whatever happened with the site.

Calm down about the outage. We all know this was a very rare event.

Calm down?! I could care less that it happened Haha. I was just stating for the site, that the timing is bad during their free trial promotion. Doesn't affect me any. I'll still be here!

Last night nothing happened. So just the practice from 5/13 2am ran. Then essentially there was nothing at the 5/13 pm period and there was nothing at the 5/14 am period. Next thing that will run is the 5/14 pm period (which is where the games & practices originally set for 5/13 pm will run).

At least, that's how I understood seble's communication but to gil's point it's possible something was overlooked and teams got in some extra development time? Pretty sure practice is coupled with the game engine running though so if the games didn't run there shouldn't have been any practice/player development in the cycle.
