Why did OGLU place 4th over G2?

Obviously, this likely doesn't end up mattering for anything since G2 surely qualifies for LCQ, but why did OGLU place 4th and G2 place 5th?

Here's the section from the rulebook:

"In the event that two or more Teams are tied in the standings at the conclusion of the Regular Season, the tie will be broken by the following criteria:
Head-to-head match score
Head-to-head map differential
Head-to-head round differential
Overall map differential
Overall round differential"

"If at any point one team wins a criteria, they will be considered the higher placed team. A new tiebreaker will be declared, with the remaining teams evaluated against the tiebreaker criteria again, starting with the first."

"If at any point multiple teams win a criteria, groups will be formed with the tied teams. Each group is evaluated against the tiebreaker criteria again, starting with the first."

There was a 3-way tie between OGLU, G2, and FKS for 4th-6th place at 1-4. All 3 teams went 1-1 against each other:

G2 2-0 FKS
FKS 2-1 OGLU
OGLU 2-1 G2

So why did G2 get 4th place? The first tiebreaker should be a 3-way H2H match score, which is 1-1 for all 3 teams. The second tiebreaker should be 3-way H2H map differential. And in that tiebreaker, G2 is 3-2, OGLU is 3-3, and FKS is 2-3. This gives G2 a +1 map differential, OGLU a 0 map differential, and FKS a -1 map differential. Shouldn't this mean that G2 should place 4th? After which the tiebreakers would start from the beginning between OGLU and FKS, and FKS would win that tiebreaker due to winning H2H vs. OGLU. Based on the rulebook, G2 should be 4th, FKS should be 5th, and OGLU should be 6th. What am I missing?

edit: OGLU actually should be ahead of FKS, but G2 should still be 4th

Does it even matter? G2 still placed higher than OGLU and FKS (check Liquipedia). I think it's just how it's displayed here on VLR
