Haha this really looks like an interesting watch. I'm of greek heritage even though I'm Australian. Listening to the cast in greek is really something different when I'm used to hearing it in every day speak with family over here

Who are the 4 players who have reached the Final Four of HSL?
Moutas : European grandmaster zerg. He is considered not just the best greek zerg player but also the best greek player period. The one who everyone is scared of, though he is beatable, as Greekarmy demonstrated in a previous phase of the tournament. He is fighting his way through the losers' bracket and now in the Final Four gets to face the guy who sent him there(Greekarmy).
Teezee(aka TheMista) : The protoss player who beat Moutas and won the previous big LAN tournament(AGL) and the only protoss in the Final Four. Here is a game between TheMista and Destiny. It is a very cool game IMO and has lots of commentary and rage by Destiny
Greekarmy : A zerg player who after a short identity crisis, trying his luck with protoss, is back with zerg. He is considered the 2nd best greek zerg player. He beat Moutas and sent him to the losers' bracket though later on he was beaten by zanpirate and got sent to the losers' bracket as well, only to face Moutas again in the loser-bracket final!
zanpirate : The dark horse of the Final Four. A zerg player who is definitely making a name for himself in this tournament, beating well established greek players like Rasmuth and Greekarmy. He along with Teezee are still in the winners' bracket.
You can check the bracket page for more information on how the players got to the Final Four. You can also download the replays by clicking on the paperclip. The brackets show only the phase of the final 16, before that we had a group stage where you can find it here.
