Statistics on Tour Guide of the Underworld from YCS Kansas City

Some Statistics from the YCS Kansas City about Tour Guide From The Underworld.

Did you know?
At YCS Kansas City, there were more than 600 players.
From the 32 players of the Top 32, if they all played 3 copies of Tour Guide From The Underworld, they would have been 96 Tour Guide in the top.
On the 32 players, 4 players ran 0 Tour Guide, 1 player ran 1 Tour Guide, and 27 players ran 3 copies of Tour Guide, so from the potencial 96 Tour Guide there were 82/96 Tour Guide.
Now let's pretend the player who had only 1 Tour Guide didn't have any.
27/32 of the top players played 3 Tour Guide, that's 84.375% of the players of the Top 32.
So statistically, if you play with 3 Tour Guide, you have 84% of chance to make it to the Top 32.

For someone who don't know how many Tour Guide worth, he could think that Tour Guide is as useful, cheap and powerful as Monster Reborn. But we all know that's not the case, everyone knows Monster Reborn is more powerful than Tour Guide, right? ;)

It is(/was) obvious now that, if you don't play Tour Guide, you won't get into the top. For the next YCS, you now know that if you don't play 3 Tour Guide, you have 15% chance to make to the Top 32.
But I'm not saying, if you have no Tour Guide, don't play at YCS, just saying that probabilities are not in your favor.
Let's hope Konami is aware of this and reprint Tour Guide as quick as possible.
