Pretty sure the Naniwa probe rush is shorter...if you call that a game.
I think people discount nestea vs naniwa due to it not really being a match.

Drilling was always gonna get the SCV's to the ramp... I guess he was hoping for a low ground 14 cc....
Or a high ground CC (hence why he brought extra drones to harass a possible wall).

I think that has topped nestea vs haruhi I gotta look it up.
How long was that Naniwa and Nestea game?

Naniwa's 6 probe rush?
...went to the toilet and thought no big deal missing just the first 2 or 3mins coming back and fantasy already won..wtf
Am I the only one who builds 1-2 more drones, after placing down the 6 pool?
Man, these suits on Doa and Monte are... interesting

That push only worked because of the 2 banshees and no AA after the initial engagement (this also adds to the coin flippyness due to how air units in SC2 play a far larger role starting from the early game compared to BW). For all you Flash fans, theres always next season!
It's not randomness when Flash didn't scout well enough to realize what was going on.
Thats thing thing. Scouting is 200% more important than it was in BW because if you dont get a specific composition you lose out. In SC2, your just going to flat out die/punished severly most of the time if you have the wrong units.
But isn't that a good thing ?
No because do you like BO losses? Theres SO many things to account for. You know thinking about it.. I think most of the raging/balance whining comes from this. Losses due to compositional error which is extremely unforgiving and sad compared to losing to a player whos just better at multitasking/positioning etc. The latter is something you can accept but the former is undoubtedly much more punishing.

Yes, because it defeats the purpose of the opening?

Oh you should have seen their LoL suits. It's a multicolour rainbow nightmare.
A 12 drone rush game has to be the quickest in SC2 pro gamer history! I don't know any specific games though

No, I always make two more Drones and an Overlord because I still have 3 larvae and ~150 mins left. D:

nestea vs haruhi was exactly 4:00 cause we looked it up the other day
I think IdrA vs Jinro was the fastest game that wasn't the Naniwa probe pull but I dont remember the exact time
That game was 4:03 VIDEO

But when hyvvas pool finished he had 200 mins, I think you can squeeze out 1-2 drones to make the 6 pool stronger...

Did Idra leave when he saw 2 (or even 1) scvs going across the map?

+ Show Spoiler + whoops guess I remembered wrong. Thanks for checking. Then I guess this was the quickest non probe rush game unless there was another 6 pool or something that was shorter

You can (I do it too) because you have a better "follow up" (typically double extractor trick to get to 12/10 and even get an overlord) But I guess that, as Tastosis explained, the goal was to pull 3 drones to prevent a full wall-in to be made Edit : If you drone even once, and take 3 drones to pull, you won't have 150 minerals when the pool pops.
