A “club” here is an unbroken period during which a player was listed with a team; youth and inactive sides count the same as senior ones. Returning to the same team creates a new spell — which is why the “distinct” column sits next to it: for 9 players of 40 the two numbers disagree. A loan or a stand-in is a row of the table too, so it counts as a spell of its own even when it sits wholly inside another spell of the same player. 4 spells sit like that for 2 players of the 40: phzy — 3 of 9, JBOEN — 1 of 4. A row counts even when its dates disagree: Twistzz’s KKona row leaves before it joins (Mar 16, 2016 → Mar 1, 2016). Such a row has no length, but the spell is in the roster table.
how the sample is spread
40 careers, grouped by number of spells
The distribution is built from those same 40 careers: the “players” column adds up to 40. It is here so first place has something to stand against: half the sample fits within 4 spells, while the record holder has 13.
Facts and records
The holder of this record, apEX, also tops the records “Most prize money” ($2,801,787) and “Longest time as a pro” (15.7 years). Next on roster spells comes HooXi with 11 spells.

apEX tops this list and the prize money list alike: 13 roster spells at 11 clubs since February 2011, and the most career earnings in the sample. The two records overlap only at the top; ropz, second by earnings, has had three spells.
Astralis’s season roster is the most travelled: HooXi, phzy and ryu, with 11, nine and eight spells, are all in the top seven. Team Spirit is the opposite: magixx, zont1x and donk have each had only two spells, and b1t of Natus Vincere, with one, is last.
The median of the 40 players is four spells, and for nine of them the count of spells and of distinct clubs differs because they returned to a team they had played for before.
