You haven't really brought any reason to explain how the GLs are falling first, team 1 may have better stamina to stand a long term battle, but team 2 are going to be winning through sheer power and hard attacks without letting up. That's exactly the kind of battle in which area of effect and stamina won't mean squat. With their teamwork they may even replenish the rings.
I just don't see any advantage to team 1 under those conditions.

Citing the Annihilators example, in which Surfer had to back down because being cut actually hinder him isn't the best example to back up your argument.
Surfer was merely surprised, not seriously injured; nor is this reason to ignore all of the other arguments made on behalf of the marvelites.

Because every attack, every construct, every significant action taken with the power ring drops the ring's charge by that much. And that is a terrible disadvantage to go in a fight with when dealing with Thor and Surfer. Their sheer power and hard attacks aren't on the same level as Thor and Surfer's, and worse, those attacks and constructs and beams are going to be blocked, absorbed, or redirected back at the Lanterns and potentially with more power than they had originally.
If they attempt to summon their power batteries from pocket dimensions to recharge, then they're going to be left open for attack.
Even if the Lanterns hit Thor and Surfer, their natural durability and damage soak is going to ensure they're going to stay around for some time barring something like a "Krona Buster". Conversely, the Lanterns can't afford to be struck often with Mjolnir, the Surfboard, or Power Cosmic attacks.
You seem to think their attacks aren't on their level, but I'm not sure what makes you say so. Also, while Thor's physical power would be good against their shields, the lanterns are excellent against energy attacks, so Surfer doesn't have any offensive edge.
I don't think Surfer would absorb their attacks either, frankly Norrid isn't very special against the Lantern in any way that matters.

Which arguments? Saying they're weaker when Hal easily stomped Shaggy Man, saying they have no stamina when it doesn't matter thanks to their other advantages. Frankly, I don't see why two top heralds would have any drastic advantage against three top lanterns, the power level doesn't add up imo.

Because both Thor and Surfer operate on higher levels of offensive firepower as well as in larger areas of scope. Their defenses, which is comprised of energy, isn't anything to brag about when you look at Thor's energy absorption as well as how bricks are shown capable of shattering their defenses more often than not. I'd take Surfer's cosmic blasts or Thor's hammer toss/lightning over a GL energy beam every time under normal circumstances.
Norrin's just about infinitely more versatile than Lanterns nowadays who are regulated to beams and constructs, so yeah, I'd say he's > than any one Lantern.
It would be a long, bloody, tough battle but they clear it. Mjlonir and Surfer's PC are too versatile for the Lanterns and unlike the Lanterns' power rings, they never need recharging.
Team Marvel's physical stats are also beastly (in terms of raw strength, stamina, durability) vs beings that are basically human level.
The only thing that saves the Lanterns from being steamrolled is their sheer numbers, but they eventually lose.

Yeah but it's like dumping Pamela Anderson at her prime for a 5 dollar hoe from 42nd St. You just don't do that if you sane.
