Bekins played well. One unnecessarily ballsy (borderline blunderous) play was going Skarm instead of Starmie to try to catch Explosion on turn 24, which kind of screwed him by leaving Skarm unable to take a Fire Blast later. Leaving sleeping Raikou on Egg after the crit could have ended pretty poorly too, but at that point it was going downhill and he needed to make a play to survive, what with both his main Exeggutor counters getting worn down fast.
MrE was a ballsy player too! Switching Gengar into Starmie and leaving Egg on Raikou after the SpDef were some risky, borderline irresponsible plays. However, they had upside, rather than merely being made to prolong the game.
Bekins' play at the end was more him needing to make great predicts to keep the game alive, rather than outright balls. If MrE doubles to Machamp on the para'd Miltank toward the end there, he instantly wins, hence why Bekins brings Skarm on the revealed Fire Blast Lax. Then, once E Curses instead, Bekins can't exactly go back to para'd Miltank, so he kind of has to Sand-Attack and pray.
Needing to make tough predicts like Bekins had to just to survive is why standard stall sucks, by the way.
