How would they do it? there's only 200 people in GM, so you are sure to hit the same player at least a few times, even just from watching streams, you see some people with similar MMR get matched up multiple times in a row. Its not like the ladder looks at players and thinks "Hmm they are on the same team, better not let them play each other." and that wouldn't even work because they can just win-trade with people who aren't on their team, ie; JYP and Daisy.
The only way they could prevent win-trading is not letting people play each other multiple times, but with only 200 people in GM, they would fuck the ladder system so hard that it is unreasonable.
Also, Blizzard is already doing something about win-trading, they are banning people who do it from the biggest SC2 tournaments if they decide to do it and get caught.

Well, apparently there was some obvious win-trading going on, in which the player immediately left at the beginning of the game. Something like that you can catch easily.
