On point 2: The answer is simple: Lag makes the game trash.

I like the answer, but not quite what I was aiming for.

Is it because online players fell more confident online and try to spam/use crazy combos and such?

No, really, its because Lag lets them get away with things without being punished.. it really is lag.

1) Can someone post a link to somewhere that gives the Tier levels for the previous SCs?

2) I notice that tournament players and online players are completely different in temrs of gameplay. I have noticed that online scramble to unleash combos all over the place and excess other moves that completely control you.

I observed tournament players and they seem to be a lot more calm and use certain moves to attack. Can anyone elaborate on this?

Tournament players generally stay away from online (there are exceptions such as Ring) because the lag screws up the timings of moves which then forces you to learn the timing off by heart and to not rely on visual aid. Tournament players have to remain calm during battle more than online players because online means nothing. Offline gives you more of a reputation though so people are starting to convert to offline. Online doesn't give the same opportunities that offline does; the lag will prevent punishers and combos so people turn to button bashing and laglows. Offline players have almost no lag (TV dependent) so they can choose their moves carefully to execute massive amounts of damage.

Actually more than likely the combos you see online aren't combos at all. Stuns into re stuns into weird tech traps. These are all things you can escape. I have been in rooms where noobies were unleashing these long ass none-combos. Taking advantage of shakeable stuns, ground game ignorance or no air control...but in doing so impressed their fellow noobies.

That's what causes the confusion when noobies watch the so called good players and are perplexed by the footsies.

If you ever wondered why in those SCV french videos on youtube, you have people in the comments section calling them terrible, this is why.
