I think it’s much more interesting for those same teenagers to participate in various cybersport competitions. There you can even earn money for playing games, and very good money. But it’s an extremely exhausting profession, especially psychologically, I already know from experience, so I can warn young people that here if something needs to go and still go to a psychologist and monitor your psychological health, especially if you play at the pro level. You can even read here profile article https://www.getinproleague.com/blog/post/mental-health-of-esports-players-why-it-is-important-to-have-a-psychologist-in-team-nwidwrwp9 on the subject. I hope that you will be able to understand and then act if you want to. Good luck with that.
