Rosecrans Baldwin's Layer 10 Commentary

That Was Unexpected

No jokes. No blah-blah. Just analysis, straight-up.

The point of this morning's match was to cull from previous battles, using images, storylines, and motifs to build a new mish-mash. Granted, our designers couldn't help but make something new, but would it be any good?

This last layer says a lot. It looks back over Layer Tennis's history and even looks forward to this afternoon's fight. (Check out the guy in the bow tie.) It's attractively assembled, harkens back to the first frame's use of logos, and feels fun.

Now it's up to you to decide whether all that's enough for Chris to take this match home, or if Greg has enough points to win. Like I said earlier, winners will be decided by your votes and will advance to the Semi-Finals. To vote for a player tweet #lyt and either #cglass or #ghubacek.

Thank you, everyone, for joining us today, we hope you had fun. A big thank you also to Adobe, our sponsor, and to Coudal Partners, host of these games. Second quarter-final match starts 2pm Chicago-time!
