It is Oliver's friend, he would go. Oliver would be devastated if Arsenal was killed, so Barry would be there for him.

If my friend's close friend died, I'd be there for him.

Also, as you said, he doesn't know him. That's why he didn't stop trying to fight Zoom and quickly go to Star City. He went after all the bad stuff happened.
