I work at Riot and it's great what you've been able to do with LoL. At the same time, I would say that finishing your CS degree (or becoming a better developer) would be definitely worth it in the long term. It's possible to manage both. I know many people who play a lot (not pros) and combine that with their engineering careers.

Also, somewhat relevant post on the question:
