"Despite the rapid growth of esports, we still see a significant underrepresentation of ethnic groups at all levels of the industry," Halfdolo stated. "This lack of diversity not only limits opportunities for talented players but also hinders the potential growth and richness of the esports community as a whole. It's crucial that we address these issues head-on and work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable space for everyone."

The LVL Up Expo, known for bringing together industry leaders, collectors, and gamers, served as an ideal venue for this critical discussion. Halfdolo highlighted several key areas for improvement, including increased access to resources, mentorship programs, and initiatives aimed at supporting minority players and lady gamers.

"Representation matters because it inspires and paves the way for the next generation of gamers," Halfdolo continued. "When young players see someone who looks like them succeeding in esports, it not only motivates them but also makes the dream of becoming a professional gamer feel attainable. We need to break down the barriers that prevent talented individuals from pursuing their passions."
