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.
