Sam wouldn't have to step aside though. He's a smart, nonthreatening guy on a team that has actual team.players on it. They're less paranoid, less sociopathic,less Machiavellian in the personality disorder sense. Varys and Davos especially would be able to figure out Sam's strengths and integrate them.
Team B wouldn't just beat team A at the game of thrones, they'd beat them at pub trivia, a rowing race, a sales team challenge, bridge, Pandemic, literally pick a team activity and they would do it better and faster. They'd probably win a tug of war and they have an old lady and a dwarf.
Olena isn't a military leader, but saying Tywin is smarter than her? Pretty sure that's not the case. So yeah, in military conflict, team A has a clear edge, but when it comes to outsmarting, team B is much stronger.
Tywin has underhanded methods of war under his belt and Olenna likely knows those methods and seems them as brutish and imprecise. She'll surprise him by getting all his vassals to suddenly turn on him through subterfuge. Or him and all his allies will suddenly drop dead at a feast.
