The court has sentenced Lorcan ‘Lorcz’ Elliott, a former League of Legends coach, to four years and eight months in prison for committing multiple child sex offenses.
The 25-year-old British coach pleaded guilty to 22 offenses, including possession of hundreds of inappropriate images of children, and was charged on August 12.
Elliot began his journey as a coach for League of Legends in 2020, working with teams in his local area such as Nuclear Storm, London Esports, and NVision Esports. He then progressed to the second tier of the esport, joining Giants and its Academy team as an analyst and coach.
After joining FlyQuest’s Academy in late 2022, Elliot went on to become an analyst for their Challengers team as well. However, he departed from the organization in November 2023 and has not held a coaching position for any team since then.
FlyQuest has a history of being associated with coaches accused of inappropriate actions involving minors. In May of 2025, the team suspended a coach following reports of online flirting with minors.
League of Legends is an esport played around the world by people of all ages.
The former coach and analyst faced condemnation from the competitive League of Legends community following the public disclosure of the charges against him. Jake ‘DonJake’ Morley, co-owner of a British League team, discussed his past interactions with Elliot prior to his arrest.
He shared on social media, “I have known this guy for more than 5 years and recently had dinner with him along with a group of UK esports individuals. We used to play games together many years ago. It’s crazy to think about.”
Michael ‘Veteran’ Archer, a renowned League of Legends analyst and streamer, also verified Elliot’s extensive involvement in the community.
“I want to address any potential criticism of Lorcz by stating that he has not denied the accusations and has acknowledged them, stating that he has sought help today.”
“According to his social media post on August 14, he stated that almost everyone in the UK scene has interacted with him at some point.”
According to BBC, the former League of Legends coach was found guilty of “offensive online conduct”that parents often worry their children may come across, as stated by the Judge who issued the sentence on September 4.
