Consider the triangle $A_1B_1C_1$ where $\angle A_1=120^{\circ}-\angle A,\,\angle B_1=120^{\circ}-\angle B$ and $\angle C_1=120^{\circ}-\angle C$. The given condition guarantees the existence of such a triangle.

Applying the triangle inequality in triangle $A_1B_1C_1$ gives $B_1C_1+C_1A_1>A_1B_1$, i.e.

$\sin A_1+\sin B_1>\sin C_1$ by applying the law of sines to triangle $A_1B_1C_1$.

It follows that

$\sin (120^{\circ}-A)+\sin (120^{\circ}-B)>\sin (120^{\circ}-C)$ or

$\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}(\cos A+\cos B+\cos C)+\dfrac{1}{2}(\sin A+\sin B+\sin C)>0$.

Taking into account that $a+b>c$ implies $\sin A+\sin B-\sin C>0$, the above inequality can be rewritten as

$\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cdot \dfrac{\cos A+\cos B+\cos C}{\sin A+\sin B+\sin C}+\dfrac{1}{2}>0$, from which the conclusion follows.
