Quite similar to the zerg way of stacked mutalisks.
You build a pylon behind your minerals or in any other suitable location in such a way that it effectively blocks your probe from moving anywhere. You then group that probe together with your corsairs. You don't really have to do anything to get them to stick together, once you move them they will clump.

does this have potential to do anything different than not having them stacked?

it would make it harder for z to clone their scourge against the sairs

that would be my guess

You can use reaver too i think for stacking. And I don't think they can do different thing. Maybe it will make harder to cloning scourge on them.

Actually their sight radius is somewhat smaller which is bad for the happy hunting hour. On the other hand stacking them must be very, very strong vs scourges.

I don't know how worth it this is, but it's obviously a bit harder to pick off weak corsairs, and you cut down on wasted splash damage (sometimes a corsair's off centre, so it takes a bad angle and hits only two mutas or whatnot).

It (probably) makes it harder for hydra to target specific sairs too?

Duh you can stack any air unit you want using teh same technique. It's not like this is new or anything -_- I've used this with wraiths when I'm playing for fun in say TvZ to do some harassment.

You should explain how to do it, instead of just showing 2 pictures w/o directions.

For example, once you have your air units and probe in a group, how do I stack the units from there? Do I hit the hotkey that they're on?
