Previous examples of large coalitions along with current behaviour patterns shows us that this is the most likely scenario to occur. As for the new males, they are definitely showing signs of being territorial. They have found a patch of land vacated by Ndhzengas and are making full use of it. 
One of these great coalitions from Sabi Sand from the past: the 3 Sand River male Lions

How far before they would have reached another coalition's territory? Was the beginning of that fight that close to the border? I'm just trying to get more details. It seems odd they'd chase him that far. It's frustrating that we saw the start and couldn't see the "end." I wish the rangers were allowed to cross borders in such circumstances.

They chased them south of Sabi Sabi, they didnt pursuit them further in Lion Sands, as that area is vacant by Ndhzengas. After that 2 males hang around Lion Sands, and recently in Sabi Sabi, as presence of Ndhzengas there is low recently, except northern areas of Sabi Sabi around Selati Camp, which Ndhzengas still visit, where week or so ago 2 S1 males where spotted, but caught scent of Ndhzengas and immiditately return back south. Someone posted that Ndhzengas where seen with Styx recently, where was that, i cant see gruop links? Styx's where recently seen around Selati Camp, which Ndhzengas still patrol. 
Does anyone recognize this lion? He’s reportedly 1/2 unknown male lions seen in Singita/WS this afternoon
Honestly, with the quality of that photo it could be half of the male lions in the reserve.

So, they killed the third male in Sabi Sabi? Or we don't know that he's dead for sure? Or am I mixing up confrontations?
