The aim of this study was to analyze how professional esports gamers perceive the leadership and mentoring role of streamers. Adopting a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, the research focused on the lived experiences of 16 male professional gamers with national and regional team-level experience. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted during official tournaments and analyzed using an inductive thematic analysis. Coding followed Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six-phase process, and data trustworthiness was ensured using Guba and Lincoln’s criteria. The findings revealed that gamers’ perceptions of streamer mentoring centered around three main themes: the mentor’s physical attributes, professional competence, and technical skills. Results suggest that leadership within streaming and digital platforms is characterized by a collaborative, technically-psychological, and media-oriented nature—rooted in the ability to narrate effectively, provide real-time analysis, and foster authentic connection with the audience.
