Actually, with many things, a lot of people drop off after a while because doing it for fun one is one thing, doing it for business or competition is another.

Can you imagine measuring your own APM (actions per minute) and replaying maps 1000s over because you're not fast enough or "training"? An average schmo like me might have 20-40 APM in a game like Start Craft 2. Your kid might hit 100 if we're generous (I don't know if you can get much faster than that without training). Pros can sometimes hit 600 and generally play at 300 minimum! That's 10 actions per second! You don't need to worry about your kids chasing this path. I have met kids who play at 100-140 APM and it's amazingly obvious how bad I suck, 300-600 is mind blowing to me.

Start around 1:30 to see how ridiculous of a level these guys are on.
