@fitz all you and I can do is wait until B.net 2.0 comes out and when SC2 comes out. Perhaps even during a SC2 beta. I am confident however that Blizzard will make games with clients on the same LAN feel like the game is on a LAN even though games are created and set up through B.net.
I do agree as I have mentioned before that you are probably SOL if you have no connection whatsoever and are on a LAN. Perhaps in years past this might have bothered me when I used to go to LAN parties with no connection to the internet, but right now it's really a non-issue for me although I know that not everyone shares the same indifference.
With that said, I don't think Blizzard accomplishes anything with this move. Pirates will always find a way even to go so far as to emulating Blizzard servers itself.
