The coaches for the Sajam Tekken Slam are gamers with years of experience in the FGC with most of them still actively competing. Like the team allocations, the coaches for each team have yet to be selected currently. The coaches are as follows:
How Will The Tournament Work?
According to Sajam, the tournament is going to be run "Waseda Style". This is different from most team tournaments where the winner stays on and faces the next opponent from the opposite team until they win out or eventually lose. But in this format, each player will only get to play once per match. Teams will pre-pick their order before a match and hopefully come out on top. Sajam also said that there would be some considerations to make sure the teams are as balanced as possible.
In the event of a 2-2 draw between the teams, the coaches would then play the final match to serve as tiebreakers. So there's the possibility of also seeing some very high-level Tekken alongside some new player shenanigans.
The group stage for the Sajam Tekken Slam takes place on March 8th and the finals will go down on March 10th.
