Last week we had a different final than we have come to use in the North America Sunday Cups. ZeRo4 managed to beat rapha to head into the final, where he met DaHanG. The latter managed to win in the end though.
You can sign up for the Sunday Summer Cup #2 already, which will start at 12:00 CST.
Unfortunately we or our third party service provider could not fix the issues in time. We have decided to cancel the cup. We apologies to the players and spectators we have dedicated their day to playing and watching FACEIT. We will be back next week with something special to make up for it. Again, we are truly sorry.
The reason the platform was down all throughout the day was because one of the third party services we use, Apigee, has been having issues. Several websites besides FACEIT have also been down or having trouble due to this.
What Apigee does and the reason we use it is that it monitors API traffic to protect our API from external attack, and to provide only one URL for calling the platform, regarding where the services really are.
In the case that their issue is not resolved in time, we can avoid using this service and changing the dns, but it will take a lot of time to update dns all over the world.
Thanks for your understanding so far, and we will keep bugging Apigee to solve their problems.
