Hi,
While current issue is stricly related to ladder API, Iād like to outline that SC2 APIs are not only essential for competitive scene, but also arcade scene.
For instance sc2arcade.com (which Iām author of) uses stuff like oauth login, profile data, and keeps track of match history. Intially, knowing that SC2 APIs are quite volatile, I was bit relucant in even adopting themā¦
And I believe Iām not the only one - lack of communication and strong stance about the API from Blizzard was always a problem in the past, even though past issues were eventually fixed, weāre at the same spot weāve always been. No one has acknowledged the issue - I donāt even expect ETA, but something like āweāre aware, and looking for a resolutionā would already be something.
Being application developer placed in such environment, where critical component is so volatitle is not exactly fun experience. And Iām certain many potential 3rd party devs have backed off, before even starting their project, because of the things Iāve mentioned.

The API is very important for any tournaments related to amateur players. We use the API to check the actual ranks of players, check their ladder activity, check their identity. Some events use it for seeding players as well.
Amateur tournaments are very important to the scene. Players who have a space to be competitive on their level generally improve much faster. Keep in mind that amateur doesnāt just mean low leagues who play now and then for fun, many amateur tournaments are made for low/mid Masters players who later grow to become the next pros.
With API going down repeatedly, often for long periods of time, we are given a choice: either put our events on hold or risk the competition being sabotaged. We can just ask players for their MMR but smurfs (higher rank players pretending to be low rank) trying to get into tournaments is not rare. The better the prize pool, the higher the risk but the reasons can be more silly than that. While access to the API doesnāt completely solve the problem, it does at least give us some tool to keep the competitionās integrity.
