It is for comp, & that's absolutely the best way for me to play comp as a solo player.
Way more enjoyable than playing against 3 stacks, & gives me a better chance of being able to compete, just like freelance trials did.
Regular trials is the worst, most miserable experience in gaming history for a solo player. Literally nothing is worse than being a solo player getting 0-5d against 3 stacks 20 games in a row.
Path of pain from hollow knight is more enjoyable than this, so is Bloody swamp from KC, so is playing the entire dark souls/demon souls/sekiro/Elden Ring collection.
