Asa Butterfield, who stars as Otis in the popular Netflix show Sex Education and is part of Team Liquid, recently faced off in a fun 1v1 mid Dota 2 match against William "Blitz" Lee, who is the coach of the esports organization’s Dota 2 squad.Asa Butterfield is no stranger to Dota 2 or video games in general. The celebrated British actor of Hugo, Ender’s Game, and The Boy In The Striped Pajamas fame has a nerdy side that is little known to the public eye. Butterfield has been an avid Dota player for quite a long period of time.Blitz, on the other hand, is a former professional player turned coach who is also considered to be one of the best analysts of the popular online multiplayer game.The 1v1 mid match started with Blitz and Asa ‘random’-ing their heroes. Blitz got Razor, while Asa got Tusk. Razor is a lane dominating hero through and through. And given the already substantial skill disparity between the two, Blitz played without using the keyboard as a jokingly added stipulation.Asa Butterfield capitalized on a series of very lucky events to draw first blood on Blitz. However, Blitz came back strong with two back-to-back kills to claim victory over Asa in the 1v1 mid match.Asa Butterfield’s tryst with Dota 2 prior to joining Team LiquidAsa Butterfield is a dedicated Dota 2 player, besides being a very successful full-time actor.
