Having played the original Starcraft at many a LAN party, I can tell you I don't really care that SC2 won't have LAN.
Every LAN party I've been to in the last 5 years has hosted the games over the web on a private server, rather then run through the headaches of setting all computers up on a local network.
I doubt they did it for any improvement, but rather for the raw costs. Why add a feature that 98% of the players will never consider using?/div>
