    I know many people who have just the one "hobby" -- and my friends who are similarly obsessed with football, music, skating or reading fantasy novels all seem to be able to branch out to other interests with much more ease than my League of Legends-playing friends.

I wonder if it's because the only thing people say separates them from the 'pros' in esports is time spent playing. Basically everyone has the opportunity to vie for the grandmasters/whatever rank the pros play at.
