fnatic's recent record looks messy at 4-6, but context matters. They beat FaZe 2-0, took down INFINITE 2-0 and their losses came against Alliance, Sashi and aimclub, all solid teams in that tier. Tricked's 4-6 record came against noticeably weaker opposition, with their best result being a 2-1 over Johnny Speeds.

The ranking gap (49 vs 53) undersells the difference between these two rosters. fnatic carry a 1.18 rating with 85.9 ADR compared to Tricked's 1.14 and 79.9 ADR. In a Bo3, that individual firepower advantage compounds. fnatic's map pool covers Dust2 (60% over 10 maps), Overpass and Anubis, while Tricked are essentially a one-map team on Overpass (83% over 12 maps) with concerning numbers everywhere else, particularly Mirage at 36% and Nuke at 31%.

The market has this at roughly a coin flip with slight fnatic lean, but the caliber of opponents each team has been facing tells a different story. fnatic are battle-tested against genuine top-30 teams. Tricked are not. At 1.73, fnatic represent clean value in a Bo3 where the better team has multiple map pool avenues to close it out.
