A lot of anticheat software are specifically capable of detecting whether if you are running the game in a VM. There are ways around them, but it becomes a bit of an arms-race as each side tries to beat the other.

flow direction doesn't matter much in terms of watercooling computers - the heat sources are too small, the temperature deltas are not great enough, and the thermal mass of water is too great. what will end up happening, is that the coolant temperature will reach some equilibrium, and proceed to stay at that temperature throughout the entire loop.
effectively, a stacked radiator will perform pretty similarly to a single thick radiator of the same total thickness, assuming the same number of fans are used.
however, stacked radiators suffer from massive pressure drop caused by the air flow restrictions introduced by the radiators. you can counteract this by running the fans faster.
HOWEVER, doing so would also reduce the maximum cooling capacity of the loop, since since the loop's cooling performance is dependent on the delta temperature between the coolant and incoming ambient air. or in other words, the hotter the coolant, the greater the maximum cooling capacity. this is why car radiators are relatively "small" compared to the heat source that they have to cool: as long as the coolant doesn't start boiling off, allowing it to run hot increases the amount of maximum cooling the small radiator can generate.
in an ideal setup, Corsair's proposed air baffle setup WILL likely cause better cooling, since each radiator surface gets their own fresh air intake, and each exhaust are isolated from each other. the second radiator does have an airflow restriction due to the smaller opening, and the first radiator would have to generate additional pressure because its fans have to pump air through a smaller exhaust.
as for the video itself:
Linus basically tested the wrong metric. what he should've done, is test the coolant temperature of a stacked radiator setup against that of a serial setup, both in 1-intake-1-exhaust and 2-intakes configurations. keep the same radiators and the same fans, at the same RPMs. the best solution is the one with the lowest coolant temperature after reaching steady state. test at multiple RPMs as well.
the test shown in the video is pretty meaningless.
