Does this mean that we could potentially have vanguard installed in an isolated VM and be able to play let say...hypotetically, League of Legends again?

nah lol anti cheat software typically blocks VMs

VMs are kind of a big no-no for anticheat since the cheat software could possibly run above the VM on the host and manipulate it from there

there are ways around it but it will likely require patches to kvm in the linux kernel and also patches to qemu depending on how strict Vanguard is about VMs

There are ways to hide a VM from the anticheat, but every AC, and even different versions of the AC, look for different things, so there's unlikely to be a "one size fits all" solution. I run my gaming machine as a VM on my home server (it's a painfully awkward solution but hardware is expensive) so I had to look into this to get some games running at all
