Starcraft 2 to be three games, internet to explode
est:
The way I see it happening is that you all connect to Battlenet to authenticate your separate cd keys, someone hosts a room with a password, you all join it & it gets hosted locally just like a LAN game. Authenticating through BNet lets them make sure you have a proper cd key, and then at the end of the game it'll probably report game stats back to Battlenet.

That means every computer needs an internet connection though.
KvP:
I've hosted LAN parties and these days, with the internet connection I have, in a lot of cases using battle.net is actually faster than wired play.
Orbert:
Yeah, but most people aren't in that situation. I've played on Battle.net maybe three times. We play over the LAN all the time.

Or to be on a LAN with an internet connection? Most people I know at the moment will have some sort of internet gateway device that allows multiple people to use the same internet connection.
