Is Idle Champions down?
Check the developer blog, Discord, Steam news and @idlechampions for service notices. This page links public announcements rather than reporting a live server measurement.

What to do instead of watching a light
Support's steps for a failed launch are restart Steam, check the network, make sure Steam is online, wait if a rollout is in progress, and send an error log. 'Stuck on selecting play server' shows up in community threads and does not have a matching support article with its own steps. I am not drawing a green or red badge, because a badge would pretend I can see a status feed.
If the game launches and only one mode fails, the troubleshooting page is the longer version of the same four steps.
FAQ
Is there an official status page?
No public status board turned up. Use the blog, Discord, Steam news, and @idlechampions.
What if I am stuck selecting a play server?
That phrase is a community report. The support article I read does not give it a separate fix.
