I was just wondering... which one is more powerful? Being elite or pro?

There's just too many people who are either elite or pro, I'm totally baffled trying to figure out who's advice I should follow.

How do you get Pro or Elite title in AL? (I've googled this but found no substantial help) I hear that some people are even pro/elite coming from other games and that blows my mind!

Just curious cause the elite/pros talk about their prestige like it ain't no thang. I heard this one pro say he soloed Jarl before the other players even connected! then he just shrugged. (too modest for details and screen shots of that would have been just bragging!!!)

Any advice on which one I should try to become?
