Yes, it was internet permissions. But “enable internet permissions” is pretty nebulous direction, especially if it had been previously working and now wasn’t. It also wasn’t exactly straightforward about which permissions needed to be enabled to get it to work.
I have found a fix for me. Under allow an app through firewall I noticed (C:\program files (x86)\starcraft ii\versions\base93333\sc2_x64.exe) was unchecked. I checked it and now I can log into NA servers. good luck!

i just know there interent permision, im not a computer software person myself, and windows usually takes care of these automatically, that being said i know sometimes when im messing with my internet from public to private it resets but still comes up with the auto pop up asking to give permissions. why some other peoples dont i dont know, maybe there using crome or something.
ps. regardless of all that, to all those people who were jumping around saying i dont know what im talking about and i shouldnt be saying miss info, yall can suck it for not listening. lmao eat me trolls.
I fixed it by brute force tryng as I had seen others mentioned. Kept putting in password and logging in from the SC2 login screen, also hit cancel during authentication a few times and others it showed the temporary outage pop up and on about the 6th login attempt it went through. Bizarre but I’m glad I’m in. Makes me wonder if other peoples fixes are just what they happened to try when it randomly decided to work as such anyway lol.

This is clearly true. Being able to reliably log in to EU completely invalidates the firewall issue/internet permission hypothesis.
Something in the login process is broken on the NA servers, and has been for at least 24h now. Probably related to an inital login (name creation?) since people who’ve been playing still appear to be able to. But it’s not completely broken. Sometimes it works. Sometimes people who are trying things try something, then test it, and it works. But it’s not because of what they tried, it’s because whatever’s broken happened to work that time.

Confirmed. Simply spamming login attempts for several minutes eventually got me to the “Select name” screen, and I seem to be able to log in reliably having been through that.
No changes were necessary on my end, it wasn’t a client problem.
I am also having issues connecting to US servers due to “temporary outage of the battle.net service”, but have no problems connecting to European servers (I haven’t tried Asian servers). This has been a problem for a couple of days now.
I am Having these issues as well. I have tried every fix I can find online, including reinstalling, permissions, admin rights, beta launcher, etc. I just logged into the EU server, so I doubt it is on my side.
I am going to submit a ticket, I think everyone here should do the same, that might bring it to their attention.
Cheers
Thanks for passing it on, cant believe they retired this work of art.
Me too.
This is the right solution, the fact they didn’t implement it is simply bonkers.
That didn’t work for me, as I’m running this on Linux, there are NO internet restrictions for it.
This solution doesn’t work for me.
However, if I try to use Europe servers it does seem to login, but asks me to create a new profile. Seriously WTF!? Why can’t it simply import the data from the current Americas profile? So, I guess that implies that if I moved to Europe I would have to restart from scratch? All this makes no sense at all.
No. Not always.
Ingame account management link is opening this URL:
https://
invalid. account. blizzard. com
/overview
(had to break it down because I cannot post URLs)
and the server for that one is down.
This looks like self saboutaging to lower their own costs or something.
It’s pretty much that we don’t own the game we paid for.
This is against our rights not even as paying customers but even as barely users.

I also had this issue, couldn’t connect to US server but EU was fine. Firewall settings were fine also. My rules were set up only for private networks, so I checked my internet settings (Windows 10) in Settings → Network and Internet → Status.
For whatever reason, it had my home network set as a public network. I changed it to private and I was then able to connect to the US server. Hopefully this helps somebody else as well.

I am having the same issue here. I have played on NA always but can’t log in due to a ‘temporary outage’. Swapping to EU works fine but that requires me to make a different profile.
Edit: I went into my firewall settings on Windows 10 “Allow an app through firewall”. There are like 10 different check boxes for Starcraft 2 and a few were unchecked for some reason. Checking them fixed my issue. I wonder why this started affecting players suddenly? Windows update? Kind of weird that someone is just in control of our machines >_>
That’s what “there will occasionally be hiccups” means.
“invalid.account.blizzard.com”? That’s not even a Bliz domain.
Where in the game are you referring to?
The only account management I found in the game goes to:
nydus.battle.net
Which forwards to
account.battle.net/overview
Which forwards to
us.account.battle.net/login/ … which is the account login page.
Well, lower costs, yes. That’s often part of why a video game is retired.
As for self sabotaging, what’s the purpose? It’s their product and their capital. They can simply decide what to do with it. They don’t need to self sabotage to do any of that. O.o
Disable your internet connection, then launch the game.
I’ve been having this problem, can’t log into US servers, is there any fix?
Officially, no. It’s something that has to be addressed by Bliz.
However, between all threads in the Tech Support and Bug Report forums, the community has been suggesting multiple things that you can try in the mean time.
Would you have any idea how long it might take for Blizzard to address the problem?
Unfortunately, no. Even when there were dedicated TS forum agents, they rarely gave ETAs. And with no such team anymore, it’s essentially no chance of an ETA.
I managed to get in by logging into my battle.net account using the “log in through google” option rather than using my email address and password like I normally do.
We wrestled this one for a while after we found that a friend could log in fine, even when swapped physical computers, while I could not.

Thank you so much!
I already added sc2.exe & sc2_x64.exe in the versions folder but adding the other 3 entries to my inbound allow list worked.
My Windows Firewall setting was already set to disabled so not sure why I needed these allow rules created
