Is it pronounced like Tom Kench or Tam Kench?

I always thought it was pronounced 'tam', but a lot of people keep saying 'tom', so I just go with Tom, which sounds a bit too generic, IMO.

That's not helpful in the slightest. It could still either be pronounced as Tom or Tam the way it's spelled

A Rioter already clarified this closely after his release. You have to say his name like you're an American hillbilly southerner. "Tawm" Kench.

It's kinda stupid but it's how Riot says you should pronounce it.

Well, English is weird. Lets use other words as references. Sat, pat, car, etc all of that specific a sound, as in Tam. The h adds another pronunciation sound to the word, so Tam probably isn't the way it is supposed to sound.

I believe it's Tom because of several words. The most obvious being Brahma. It has the same spelling as Tahms name with the "ahm" in the middle of it. Any source you can find, will pronounce that mix of lettering as an "ah" sound. So it should be pronounced Tom.
