In 2009, Torre took the stage for the first time and placed 3rd in a difficult category. This only increased his desire to improve. Within 6 months of his first contest, he competed in his second contest and not only won his class of 16 players but also won overall with a Pro card. Over the past few years, he has placed in the top three of 5 different organizations and earned 4 different pro cards.
