Aside from the fact those other things make you physically healthy.

To think these kids do nothing but stay inside with each other and play games all day long, get up and repeat is absolutely insane, and couldn't be further from the actual truth.
Except to get that level, these guys had to have spent huge amounts of time when they were kids and teenagers playing videogames, in addition to going to school. There are only so many hours in the day. A 15-year-old playing videogames 20+ hours a week (and I'd bet most pros played a lot more than that when they were 15) is going to be missing out on a lot of other important things in life.
