than 50 days, the competition received over 100 pieces of professional
works from companies and over 2000 pieces of works from various training

30 professional judges decided individual and team winners for 13 out of

Destroyer team won an award, CGDA
brought a large number of premier Chinese online game developing teams
together, and provided valuable exchange opportunities for all the
participants including Perfect World. The improvement of production will
be a great drive for the development of the entire game industry as well
as enhance the companies capabilities. Perfect World has realized quite
early that only with enhanced capabilities can the companies present a
popular online game.
Apart from professionals, many promising non-professional candidates
attracted attention from the game companies through last years CGDA,
and a proportion of the training school and college winners have been
employed by premier game companies.
