The gas trick to get through an opponent's hold positioned units is bug abuse. Ladder won't enforce it but tournaments will. It's the same as cheating to me.

In tournaments if you do this it s basically insta ban. But yeah ladder is a bit of a wild place. Usually, tournament admins only deal with what happens during their games.
Of course we have back channels to share intel and that's why usually cheat related bans are propagated across tournaments once a clear case is reported and shared (privately).
For me when I was active, ladder has always been a bridge too far to monitor and also we re not the police. If blizzard doesn't want to act then that s the lawless zone where you can try shit for fun and giggles. Personally i think it makes ladder a little less fun but i get it.
However if admins are aware someone uses those on ladder, then any case that would be just a 50-50 suspicion usually within our leagues will be considered harshly without the benefit of the doubt. So there d be no warnings or first steps, it would be straight to full ban.
Just my 2 cents about it ^^
