You think it's a coincidence they chose to do maintenance on a day that is a national holiday for a good portion of the EU? Then to have the PC-EU server maintenance take hours longer than the NA server? Only to have it completely break down right after, all the while the PC-NA server is just fine?
This isn't incompetence on their part, they know exactly what they are doing. For what purpose? That's the real question.
