ZVP

What does ZVP stand for in StarCraft 2?

Zerg versus Protoss

In the world of StarCraft 2 (SC2), the term ZvP is commonly used and stands for Zerg versus Protoss. This is a specific game scenario where a player choosing the Zerg race goes head-to-head with an opponent who has chosen the Protoss race.

The game allows players to choose from three distinct races, each with its own unique characteristics. The Zerg are a group of alien-like creatures, while the Protoss are a race of beings with advanced technology and psychic powers.

In a ZvP match, the Zerg player’s strategy usually involves trying to overwhelm the Protoss player in the middle of the game. If the Zerg player fails to disrupt the Protoss player’s game before it reaches the later stages, it’s likely that the Protoss player will emerge victorious, either by using a Deathball or superior air units.

Sure! What do you want to play?

Let’s do some ZVP. I’m in the mood to play as Zerg.

Sounds good! I’ll go with Protoss then. See you online!
