There are some tournaments online, but no online tournament is considered "legit". Most tournaments take place offline.
This late in the life of the game, most of the tournament action in SC4 happens at "Majors" which are multi-regional gatherings of players. The nearest tournament to you would be Summer Jam in Philadelphia in August, and there are people coming to that from Canada, New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Chicago, Northern California, as well as individuals from a ton of other places. The infrequent amount of tournaments means the quality of competition is the very finest. Nothing levels you up like going to a tournament, just go, don't be shy and play ALOT over the weekend and it's better than 10,000 hours of online or practice mode.
As for online, in the first info post I posted, I linked to some threads trying to help detail the pitfalls of online. Many people have played only online, and sadly, don't realize the huge difference affects everything about the game. I hope you won't end up as one of those people who see's online as anything more than a learning tool and a way to have some fun; it's not meant for serious play.
