Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to a problem of using references to mythological characters in e-sport games. Creators of the game refer to motifs from Greek, Anglo-Saxon, Roman and Chinese mythology. Conducted research has shown that the image of the threads and mythological characters used in the game is somewhat distorted compared to the original.
