SPAC Evo to liquidate in wake of failed merger with 20Cube
You can get up to $200 off of the iRobot Roomba j7 and iRobot Roomba i3 Evo robot vacuums
Whew, April really flew by fast! Believe it or not, Mother’s Day is now just two weeks away, so unfortunately, we can no longer keep putting off the search for a gift. Thankfully, though, retailers — likely highly aware of this fact — are discounting a bunch of items today that Mom will love.
First up, some of our favorite robot vacuums are on sale. The cream of the crop, the iRobot Roomba j7, for example, is going for $399 ($200 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from iRobot. You can also buy the iRobot Roomba j7 Plus, which is the same robovac but with an auto-emptying docking station included, at Amazon, Best Buy, and from iRobot directly for $599 ($200 off).
The vacuum is our top pick for many reasons. It features obstacle…

Samsung’s 970 Evo Plus 2TB SSD is an almost legendary SSD, offering great real-world performance at a reasonable price. Recently the largest 2TB size has dropped from £145 to £99.99, making it significantly more affordable to add a ton of fast NVMe storage to your PC or laptop.

Samsung’s Evo Select 512GB card offers excellent performance for Steam Deck and Switch and it’s currently discounted to $39.99 on Amazon US, making it a great time to upgrade your favourite gaming handheld with a ton of extra storage.

Project L news: More info discreetly revealed to pro players ahead of Evo Japan, still no release date
Reset the clock, we’ve got more Project L news. Riot Games‘ very own in-development fighting game rarely pops its head up, but the latest news from Evo Japan stands out as one of the most impactful early info drops we’ve seen to date.
This information comes from professional player GamerBee, who was invited to a behind-closed-doors “banquet” where Riot staff showed off a new Project L video to select players, answering their questions and addressing their concerns. While recording was not allowed, attendees were allowed to share waht was discussed online. As such, GamerBee did us all a favour by translating their notes into English and posted them online.
However, these notes were translated via ChatGPT and as such aren’t 100% accurate. We reached out to Riot to confirm the validity of GamerBee’s notes. A spokesperson responded by saying the gist of the post was correct, although as an AI translation it was not a verbatim representation of exact points made at the meeting.

Still, this is a very reasonable price for a memory card that’s good for up to 130MB/s sequential reads and meets the A2 requirements for random performance.
Evo 2023 line-up announcement features Street Fighter 6 and brings old Marvel 3 players out of retirement
The official line-up for Evo 2023 was announced today. Street Fighter 6 is making its Evo debut, while plenty of community favourites like Guilty Gear: Strive and Tekken 7 are getting another go at the main stage too. Each game with have a prize pool of at least $25,000 each.
The event, which was bought out by Sony and RTS in 2021, is also making some substantial changes! The Top 8 finals format has been controversially scrapped and replaced with Top 6, apparently to keep things from running overtime.
Let’s start with the big one. Street Fighter 6 will be featured at Evo 2023, and stood out as a main point of excitement for many of the prior Evo winners interviewed as part of the announcement show. Only a few days prior at the Capcom Pro Tour finals, a $1,000,000 prize for 1st place in next year’s Capcom Cup Street Fighter 6 winner. The combination of the two has thousands hyped to attend Evo and give the game a go.
