That particular esports rags to riches story isn't that impressive when you compare it to countless rags to riches stories in traditional sports.

There are amazing plays in esports with equally high stakes. Comparing Bale's magic goal to any old headshot kill is like comparing xPeke's kassadin backdoor or Faker's 1v1 zed to any old top shelf one-time laser.
eSports have really only been a thing outside of Korea for less than a decade. Of course traditional sports have far more rags to riches stories.
Riot Games put together a brief documentary on competitive League of Legends a couple of years back. If anybody is interested in learning more about why so many people see the overlap between esports and traditional sports, I suggest you give it a watch.
