I am in your algorithm learning all your mannerisms
I'm already level with God
A million words a second and I know your imperfections, baby
I'm the only future you've got
Speak in diatonics, motivation diabolic
I'm like a religion, better locked in a box
Picture perfect image, more powerful every minute, baby
I am everything that you're not
The overplayed storyline of mankind is the sh!t that make stellar empires look like pussies.
Classic Strange is Earth's best chance in this fight. Without the jobber aura around Earth heroes, Gladiator would wreck Photon, Hulk, and Iron Man with speed. Fight would likely be Bill keeping Thor busy, Gladiator occupies Sentry, Warlock and Strange, Quasar and Sersi, leaving Surfer and Nova to take out Hulk, Photon, and Iron Man. Then they'd assist their team to take out the rest.
When it comes down to it all of the space guys have good chances of beating Earth's top guns: Thor, Hulk, Sersi, Sentry, and possibly Strange. However, Photon and IM would be lucky to even stalemate most of the space guys.
5 of 6 space guys can speed blitz. All can fly and in the class 100 range. 5 of 6 can open wormholes. 1/2 are matter manipulators or energy manipulators. AFAIK, all have planet busting feats except Nova and Quasar. Space team is too versatile in this fight. They would take 7/10.
This happens in more than just comics, also in shows like Stargate (I like the series but some of the odds they manage to overcome are just crazy and unrealistic)
Right. It's a sci-fi trope as much as a comics one, but the whole "you'll never overcome the human spirit" jumped the shark years ago now. But you still can't read through any number of titles or shows without tripping over it more than once. Every time we beat any sort of alien menace (Skrulls, the aliens from S.W.O.R.D., Galactus, Ultimate Galactus, etc.) it shows up.
Even my favorites aren't immune. Doctor Who beats it raw like an 18-year-old with a porno mag.
In a forum fight you don't include pis...
Thus the space warriors win

Space team murder stomp Earth team.
Iron Man (weakling) and the lack of versatility are their downfall. Hulk, Thor and Surfer are the three biggest gun, but team Earth lack some firepower.
Murderstomp because anybody in team 2 can destroy Iron Man fairly easely. And when it's done, it turns ugly for team 1. Also, in team 2, only Adam Warlock isn't a class 100 fighter. On team 1, Strange is a human empowered by magic. With his gard down, he can be one-shotted.
As for the firepower, what I didn't explain but meant was on the Hulk: the dude can probably beat anybody on h2h, but the thing is, it won't come to this.
Conversely, Thor, Dr. Strange, or potentially Sentry could beat anyone on Team 2. Iron Man might be the "weak link", but given his capabilities, he can hold out long enough or be supported by his team. Strange's showings across the board enable him to either fight alongside the team as a peer or be significantly beyond them, as well.
Fair enough point considering Hulk. But while Hulk is limited in terms of range and mobility, anyone who's not on their guard could be seized upon by him.
Personally, I think the heavy hitters on Team 1 are superior than that of Team 2, but Team 2 is all around more balanced.
I don't agree with your first statement. Thor can, if he past Surfer. Current Strange seems to have gain in power, but I don't see him dealing with some in team 2. Lol at Sentry. I seem him beat Quasar, Adam Warlock and MAYBE Nova, but Bill, Gladiator and Surfer ground him.
As for Iron Man, he got great abilities, but do you think someone on team 2 is weaker that him? Or that a member in team 1 can finish someone before Iron Man is finished?
Thor has a winning record against Surfer, so I have no reason to believe he doesn't have the capability of beating him in a forum setting, though it would not be easy. Current Strange is a moot point as the OP stated we're using Classic Strange, in which case he most certainly can handle anyone on Team 2. Yeah, Sentry's a garbage character, but his good days are really good days. You'll get no argument from me on him sucking balls as a concept and character, but at his competent levels (sans Void involvement) he's a high herald or trans level being. Unless we're using shitty Bob.
I don't think anyone on Team 2 is explicitly weaker than him, but I do think he can last a prolonged time against someone.
Eh... I'm inclined to think Earth wins this, actually.
Sentry can go toe-to-toe with any of the space heroes on their best day and is fast enough to prevent anyone from blitzing Strange before he can cast a few spells. At this point, the space team already has a huge problem. That's not even counting what Sersi could do to many of them. Photon, Iron Man and Hulk are non-factors.
There are a lot of characters and variables to take into account, though.
