Rickard I've been here before, and it makes me get queasy (not your fault!) But ... I'm pretty sure "opposition" is a dead-end. A golfer, not in a tournament - alone on the course - is contending with the rules just as sincerely and profoundly as teams of [any]ball players do. A climber, alone on a cliff-wall, is engaged with solving the problem before him as deeply and consequentially as a chess-player is engaged with the (shared with his opponent) chessboard.
Or maybe said another way: I think "opposition" is about the easiest thing there is to find.
This makes Rick go "Sure, but it's PvP vs PvE"
... and I don't agree that PvE is better.
This makes GcL go "PvP & PvE may not be perfect fits"
But sure, neither is better than the other. One might be more suitable for a particular purpose, though.
