I can't connect to Battle.net to start Starcraft 2

I just got a new computer and I installed starcraft 2 and at the part where you log in, you know where you put your username and password so you can play the game, well it keeps saying Battle.net is down for maintanence. Please try again later. I waited a day to see if it would pass and let me access but it says the same thing. I restarted my computer, same thing. What is going on? Why won’t it let me access? Can someone help me with this issue?

Hey there,

I understand that this is a fresh install of Starcraft 2, but I’m curious if it’s related to an issue we’ve been seeing where the Public Test Realm exe is interfering with the login process.

Can you take a look at the steps here and see if you have the PTR showing up? If so, try removing it and then see if it will let you log in.

If that doesn’t do the trick, make sure that on the Battle.net app you have Starcraft II selected above the Play button and that it’s set to the Americas region.
