PvP
Players fight players
PvP stands for player versus player, describing modes in video games where human players compete directly against each other rather than against computer-controlled opponents.
The game has both PvP and PvE modes.
The term originated in online gaming but now appears in broader contexts for any direct competition: Office politics is basically PvP.
