YO, WE'RE BACK ALREADY?!
Alright, so quick recap. Back in March Sajam decided to host a Tekken 8 tournament due to the amount of buzz and hype the game was getting from people outside of the FGC. And boy, was that the right call on his part. We got villains, we got heroes, we got rivalries, and we got some Good Ass Tekken. The tournament turned out to be a major success with both competitors and spectators alike, with both parties asking when next one would be. Fast forward nearly two months and here we are with new teams, new players, new coaches, and returning players from the first Slam... some looking for redemption, others looking for that sweet 2-peat. Let's get it~!
THE PLAYERS & SCHEDULE
THE COACHES
THE TEAMS
PLAYER SKILL LEVELS
While not color coded this time, the format is still the same. The player listed at the top of each team is currently the one with the highest rank of said team. Last tournament the top players were in the Blues (Fujin, Raijin, Kishin, Bushin), but now we have about 5 that are currently at Tekken King rank or higher. One major change up from the last event is that the Coaches will play during the Round Robin stage and there will be two (yes, TWO) round robins.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
As before, all teams will be entertaining to watch. But now that we already got one tourney under our belt, we got some storylines!
TEAM BRAWLPRO
The runner-ups from the first tournament have returned with almost all of their original members. SuperTF (former pro Overwatch player) did not return for this event, and in his place Dokibird (Indie V-Tuber) answered the call. Well.. more like she got snatched by Brawlpro the moment he saw her playing King. 3 Kings, a bear, and Jack Jesus (LazyMattman)....God save us all.
SHIPHTUR
The man who brought it home for his team and secured the win in the first Sajam Slam Tournament. The only member from 'Team Joey Fury' making a return and looking to get a 2-peat. Can he get it done?
