Still not convinced he was able to RCE their machines through the games. Aren’t there clips of one of the streamers downloading someone posted in a link somewhere?

I mean, a hacker will say its patched when it isn’t to keep using the exploit. So this isn’t exactly the most reliable source.

They specifically used it to make major players blatantly cheat during a tournament so that it would be taken seriously and fixed quickly.

Not unknowingly. The hacker turned on obvious cheats (wallhack, aimbot) during their matches. Both players reacted immediately, clearly stating that they have hacks on in voice chat. One of them then left the match, the other player continued, but stopped shooting.
