Sandbox announced the signing on their Twitter page, welcoming the support player to professional gaming.

“Welcome, DangMoo!
DangMoo joins #LSB CL to take on a new challenge as a pro player. Please give her a warm welcome!” the announcement read.

This is a significant milestone for the world of esports, which has traditionally been dominated by male players. While there have been a number of successful female gamers in the past, they have often faced significant barriers and challenges in terms of representation and visibility. The signing of a female player by Liiv Sandbox is a step towards greater diversity and inclusivity in the esports industry and is likely to inspire more women to pursue careers as professional gamers in pro teams.

Very little information is available about DangMoo, as her signing with Liiv SANDBOX marks the first time she has joined a professional League of Legends team. According to Leaguepedia, she has primarily played champions like Ahri and Lulu in the past.

Although DangMoo may be new to international audiences, she has already gained a following in South Korea as a content creator. With almost 250,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel, which features mostly League-related videos, and over 185,000 followers on Twitch, she is already fairly popular. Now, as she makes history by joining Liiv Sandbox as the organization’s first-ever female player, she has the opportunity to expand her reach and make an even greater impact in the world of esports.

In the LSB Challengers team, DangMoo will be competing with Hong “PlanB” Su-jin for a starting spot on the roster. PlanB also joined the team in December.

It remains to be seen how DangMoo will perform as part of the LSB Challengers team, but her signing is already being celebrated as a major moment for esports and a sign of progress toward greater inclusivity in the industry. As more and more women enter the world of professional gaming, it is likely that we will see an increase in the number of female players competing at the highest levels of competition.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of female players in esports, although they often have their own separate leagues, such as Game Changers in VALORANT or ESL Impact in CS:GO, thereby making it rare to see them participate in competitions like LCK CL. However, this makes the signing of DangMoo even more significant and historic.
