eonzerg gets solid S rank without boosting, soulkey does bare minimum boosts and wins 4x ASLs. for the people that don't want to bother learning niche techniques, it isn't necessary to succeed, especially outside of korea. but for the people that love to optimize, it's there as something meaningful to do in the early game rather than unnecessarily spam apm

I cut 2 seconds off my pool/lair timing just boosting the #7 spot. It's really minimal effort

Soma goes even further and doesn't build a drone after 11 hatch, but gets a pool at 1:50 (7 seconds before SK), then drone, then gas at 2:00

So he has hatch 5 seconds earlier, pool 7 seconds earlier, lair at the same time. Any minerals advantage soulkey's build has disappears when you start mining the expansion (you maynard one drone faster and the second drone comes out faster and the third, etc)

Feels like this is bad for the game overall. You want mechanics and you want the game to be hard, but you want the mechanics to be grounded in the experience of the game. Camera keys/muta stacking whatever. This is such a small detail you'd have to be really pedantic at the game to do it and a lot of people wont hear about it and wont want to.

I have gone in one of my wild rants before about boosting that if perfected it would cut 45 seconds when coupled with drone cutting. I truly believe True opened up a new way forward. 7 drones is hella cool if you can keep boosting. I said it before True almost proved me right in the ASL had he won.
PS: I said 47 seconds, correction.
