59 of them; the rest have been to fewer
The clubs column holds 232 cells covering 78 distinct clubs. A link sits on 12 clubs and on 20 players of 59: the rest have no page here, and we will not point at an address that does not exist. Where the edition rosters spell one club differently, the column uses the name the rest of the site uses: PVISION, TEAM VISION → PARIVISION.
Club names are printed as they are today. Organizations get renamed, so a “Shopify Rebellion” next to a 2014 player is that club’s current badge, not the one it wore then. The risk is smaller here than in the match records: these rosters come from the tournament pages themselves rather than from the current team directory — but the caveat is worth keeping in mind.
longest active run
Cr1t- has played 10 Internationals in a row and was at the latest one — the longest unbroken run among active players.
There was no tournament in 2020, so a run counts consecutive editions rather than consecutive years: otherwise the gap would break a run that never actually broke.
An appearance means being named on a participating roster for that edition. It is not the same as playing a map: a substitute on the roster counts too, and how many maps they played is not something this table states. Coaches are not counted at all — they were at the event, but did not play. All clubs a player represented at a TI are listed: changing club does not break a run.
Facts and records
Closest to the appearances record are Cr1t- and LaNm with 10 appearances each.

Fly and Puppey share the top of the table with eleven appearances each, but they got there differently. Puppey played every one of the first eleven editions, from Cologne in 2011 to 2022, for only two clubs, Natus Vincere and Team Secret. Fly needed six clubs to reach the same number, between 2013 and 2024.
Neither has played The International since 2024, so the record could change hands. Cr1t-, with ten appearances in a row since 2016, is the closest of the active names, and LaNm also has ten — spread between 2011 and 2026 across seven different clubs. The most-travelled player in the list is iceiceice: nine appearances for eight clubs.
