Stuart McAllister, the owner of Northern Ireland-based esports org Nuclear Storm Gaming (NSG), posted a picture of a new car yesterday.
Not just any old car – an eight-seater emblazoned with his org’s logo. It looks professionally done and received a positive response from the UK community on Twitter.
It’s a demo vehicle, so Peugeot own it and were happy to put the graphics on it.
But one person wasn’t happy with it.
Imagine paying £400+ to have a dead organisation on the side of ya van.. just imagine

Davey has worked with Savage, Radiant and Bulldog Esports in the past, and is currently orgless.
His tweet of course drew a response from the UK esports community, NSG and friends of the org.
Rather embarrassing having “Ex” in your bio as all the orgs realise how bad you are! pic.twitter.com/4LcirBpsTw

NSG’s owner also responded with a picture of NSG members from inside the car…
We love the van @DDaveYx, pity you couldn’t get on for your organisation ? pic.twitter.com/7oLRkYvNz8

NSG Twitch streamer Conor “Locke” Magee made a picture illustrating what Davey might use to go to events.
Ach sure he’s probably got his own lift to events… @Zest2D @AETHZ @DuckyCSGO pic.twitter.com/wo5vDvGOMj

Davey now has the above image as his header picture on his Twitter channel.
Here’s an example of some of the interaction that’s been floating around on Twitter following the tweets.
