Stalemate.
Just because Oblivion is an abstract doesn't mean he gets an auto win vs the Vishanti. Hell, look how Nightmare enslaved Eternity or how Ancient One choked him out.
They were about to throw down with Slorioth and stopped because the fight would wreck the universe and instead summoned the LT and he ruled in their favor.

No, I thought Malestrom was just a servant of Oblivion. Not the avatar. Although he was backed by Oblivion, he and Deathurge were just "agents".
Malestrom was backed by Oblivion/absorbed Anomaly/cut off Quasar's hands and absorbed the Quantum bands/and gained Eon's cosmic awareness. That's why he (not Oblivion) survived that IG blast.
