That formula doesn't really hold true for Fairy Tail.


 * Lullaby was defeated in a 3v1
 * While they were initially giving the alliance plenty of beating eventually the alliance won against the OS. Even the individual fights were mostly 1 OS vs. two or more allience mages, including the "boss-fight" which Natsu could only win thanks to Jellal's interference.
 * And of course the biggest example: Hades.
 * Or if you'd like more recent and relevant examples: Tempesta and Jackal.
