E-sports is a competition and special preparation for a video game competition, where the game is a tournament for a player or team with a team. E-sports is a young industry. Development companies are working on the formation and creation of their own cyber ecosystems. In our work, we examined the reasons for player transfers. We are especially interested in players who leave their home country / region. We studied the general trends in the movements of players, and they had experts in the disciplines, under what conditions such transfers occur. This work will be interesting not only for coaches and managers of cyber sports teams who are interested in attracting the best foreign players to their team and retaining their own “stars”, but also viewers who are watching the performances of the teams in their favorite disciplines.
