So here it is—after 340 hours I finally hit DMG. I was stuck in Silver for a long time and didn’t expect to reach DMG. I guess being at 340 hours isn’t a big deal. Up to the LE! TL;DR: this post doesn’t make much sense, but I’m really excited to have reached this level.
Hey there! It's great to hear you're making progress—only MG1 after about 500 hours sounds tough! That’s roughly 200 AFK sessions plus a bit of sleep time, so around 300 hours of actual playtime. I’ve seen stories about people needing 2,000 to 4,000 hours, but everyone learns at their own pace. Keep going—good luck with your ranking! :-) And enjoy the journey 
It looks like you're comparing yourself to others who have spent hundreds of hours in SMFC. You're impressed by your own progress and wondering how someone with over a thousand hours managed it. It's a tough achievement!
Look for some folks to hang out with—I got stuck in Silver 3-4 for ages, then joined friends with microphones and hit gold Nova a week later.
It varies, really. Early on, I used basic laptops for casual play—DM or light games with the built-in trackpad. Only recently, after about 200 hours, have I seriously invested and enjoyed it, reaching LE while still relying on a failing PC. My ranking dropped because of that.
