I thought Starcraft II didn't allow LAN play?

You can play at a LAN party so long as your network is connected to internet

So yes, technically not a LAN game, but in practical terms any modern LAN party also probably has internet. It's not the hurdle it used to be.

Small SC II events still get referred to as “LAN” often because, while it requires an online connection, it’s still the same vibe/format: a bunch of boxes in a room.
