ZVZ

What does ZVZ stand for in StarCraft 2?

Zerg versus Zerg

In the world of StarCraft 2 (SC2), players use the term ZvZ to indicate a game between two Zerg players. This is what’s known as a mirror match, where both players have chosen the same race.

StarCraft is a strategy game where each player picks one of three races: Zerg, Protoss, or Terran. The Zerg are unique alien creatures that evolve and grow stronger as the game goes on.

The ZvZ match can take different turns based on the strategies each player adopts at the start. This type of game is notably ruthless. Even a small mistake at the beginning can lead to a big loss in the later stages of the game.
