It did decently in battle, reaching the Round of 32 in Season 3.0 but advancing no deeper in the tournament. Crashius Clay also attempted to return for Season 5.0, but encountered unknown issues and was forced to forfeit.
The robot was named after late heavyweight boxer Muhammad Ali's real name, Cassius Clay.
