Starcraft Master was pretty hard imo. I got the achievement for the portrait after approximately 90 minutes of trying. :/ I still have 5 challanges left though.
lvl27: right click, attack ground anywhere, right click?
lvl28: just stick to the wall at the start of the level to get max range
lvl29: kill the 1st zealot like how u do it with the hydra vs zealot focus fire lvl, then kill the other 1 like level 1 marine dance
lvl30: imo the hardest lvl lol, focus on the 1st stalker projectile attack to pick and drop, after that just follow the rhythm without focusing on the projectile ahaha
Level 27: I didn't bother trying to do the 'perfect banshee micro' because it's ridiculously hard for noobs like me.
Instead, I just aimed to not get hit by more than 1 (at most 2) marines at once when I stop to shoot.
Use the big rocks to funnel the marines in a line (around a bend is the best) and do the attack-move thing. It's ok to trade shots with just 1 marine at a time.
(Of course as much as possible try to do the 'perfect micro' in which you dont' get hit at all)
Just be patient, and keep going in circles around the big rock to use this tactic. Did i mention be patient?
Level 28: Just tuck yourself in the corner and Snipe micro... the only reason you can't beat this is latency so can't help you here.
Level 29: I've tried many methods, but the best seems to be this one which Deathsfang linked me:
You basically group your marines up in a ball at the start and start kiting - grouping your Marines messes up the Zealot AI such that they will keep switching targets whenever you make turns (or almost randomly), so you just watch for when their target switches and you do scoot and shoot. Just keep abusing this and you can actually kill both with 3 marines left. Or lose one, kill 1 zealot, and do Level 1 2 marines 1 zealot micro.
Watch the video to see what it's like.
Level 30: Not much tips here, besides use Hold position on your Medivac if not it keeps flying around like a retard.
It's ok to let your medivac take some shots, but in general try to 'force' the stalkers to fire at your tank and then pick it up to dodge it. (In my successful attempt I lost my medivac)
(the reason why you want to let your medivac take shots is sometimes your micro isn't perfect so your Siege Tank takes some hits - so if in consecutive volleys the Tank is getting hit you may want to load it up faster to draw some fire to your medivac before letting them target your tank (and dodging) again)
Just needs some practice and you should get it!
GLHF!

Tried to play this yesterday from EU on SEA server, it's awful lag. Not important for most of the levels, but for certain, it's really painful. I've 28-29-30 left.
Pretty fun, still feel like a chobo after beating all 30 levels though haha! Would be sweet if Blizzard released more stuff like this with every couple of patches.
