Location: Dathomir, center of Talzin's power.
Scenario: With a great sacrifice Mother Talzin has been brought at peak power on Dathomir. Sidious and Tyranus sense a disturbance in the force and both arrive on Dathomir to strike down their hated rivals. As Grievous leads the ground assault Sidious and Tyranus face off against the Mother and her most powerful children.
Assuming Sids was just enjoying the duel with the Maul brothers and wasn't trying to end it quickly, I'd pick team 2. If he was serious in that fight, there's no way team 2 wins.
I think he was reasonably serious. Like, he wasn't going strait for the kill, but he wasn't *letting* them get some hits in, or letting them do so evenly in sabers.
He knew he had the option of separating them with the force, but chose to get some real fighting in before he did so.

Ventress and Savage can hold off and even kill Dooku, they only lost because of Savage losing it.
Savage's power is too much for ye olde Dooku to deal with, so he has to be force lightning'd and even Dooku can't beat Ventress with so many breaks in his combat form.
I think Maul and Talzin vs Sidious is obviously a Dathomir victory too.
I'll go with the CIS, mostly because of Grievous leading an invasion that will probably make short work of the Nightsisters without the undead or a suitable General.

Sidious going all out wipes the floor with Ventress and Savage in seconds.
Maul would be fairly more difficult but TK would stomp him, Talzin would be hard but he would still win.
Add in Dooku and this is a stomp.

Sidious and Dooku should take this if Sids fights smart.
Sidious can easily defeat Ventress and Savage simultaneously with the force. However, if Sidious decides to engage in saber before resorting to the force Maul and Co have a real chance.
Dealing with four foes he can beat individually and all four at the same time- or even two/three of them- is a very different thing.
He can, one on one, take out Savage in seconds and Ventress in not all that many more. But as we saw, Savage was actively hanging and being useful alongside Maul until they were split up by the force.
And with Talzin taking point and doing heavy lifting, Sidious is not going to have a lot of attention to spare for any foe.
Sidious casually owned both Maul and Savage with the force at the opening of the fight. Not sure why you seem to believe he would unable to do the same to Ventress and Savage when he should be able to do so even easier.
Because Talzin is going to gun for him in the force. There's no way she's not.
He does that to Ventress and Savage, Talzin's going to drop everything to blast him full-on in the side while Maul holds off Dooku.
And while he grabbed them both initially when their guards weren't fully up, keep in mind they weren't taken out. He can immobilize two pretty well, but finishing takes a bit more effort and/or some saber work.

Ventress was evidently amateur hour at defending against Sith Lightning, Savage was even worse, Maul wasn't exactly much better and Talzin required Maul's amp to engage Sidious squarely in Force Lightning.
This isn't including by any means, Sidious' other potent abilities.
Real Sith win.

Yeah but he didn't instantly crush them, or even KO them. That attack lasted way too long to pull it off when Talzin's and Maul are still around.
Besides I doubt in this fight everyone is talking with their weapons tucked away giving Sidious a chance to suddenly lash out with his Force powers any second.
