SC2 is StarCraft 2. Going to be the next thing in RTS gaming, and usercreated content. See: DotA.
As for workarounds, I'm fairly certain it will NOT be as useful as LAN, but be slightly less intrusive compared to steam, which is well received by the gaming community in general.
That being said, most of the situations I used LAN in were ones in which it would've been either possible to get an internet connection, or was used for piracy (me and some relatives, me and some friends at college using the same copy of the game). Not gonna lie, there hasn't been a great deal of legitimate uses of the game that I will no longer be able to do.
