Collaboration with Valve
On October 18, 2012, Valve Corporation announced an agreement granting Perfect World exclusive rights to market and distribute Dota 2 in mainland China. CEO Robert Hong Xiao stated that his company was "confident that adding this action strategy game to our diverse portfolio of games will bring additional world-class entertainment and premier gaming experiences to our players in China."
On 25 February 2016, Perfect World hosted Dota 2's Shanghai Major. While the tournament itself was well received in regards to the player performances, overall the event was deemed a failure. This was mainly due to delays on stream, spotty broadcasts and various other problems within the tournament, including the theft and deterioration of the competing teams' equipment. There was also a number of issues with the commentators, including the firing of James "2GD" Harding halfway through the tournament. James had what many would consider a very lackluster performance--opening with a crude joke about masturbation--however much of the problems stemmed from the considerably greater time between games than anticipated because of the aforementioned broadcasting issues. In the month that followed the event, Yunfan Zhang the president of Perfect World apologized for the less than stellar event.
