Curious how they got the players/clients IPs to begin with ?

  My best theory is that they: - stream sniped ImperialHal and Gen - had some way of getting uuids from the client - used those uuids in combination with an RCE However, I'm still leaning more strongly towards the theory that gamers who don't care about security got social engineered into downloading a RAT and have compromised computers. And if it happened to two, it's infinitely more likely that could be leveraged to social engineer others in that group.

    yeah - social engineering seems a common/likely approach. I'd assume their machines are on different (private) networks for each tournament/location. So, it would much easier to have a pre-installed exploit phone out to the attacker then trying to get in past NAT to exactly the right players ?

  Post some links in their Twitch chat to i.e. images on a server you control. Correlate your access logs with geoip information and you have a good chance of getting their IP.

    I would have expected the tournament to be behind NAT, so the the client machines would have unroutable ips, and the server would just get the IP of the router - not the individual clients ?
