The structure combines "stream" (referring to a live video broadcast) with "snipe" (to attack from a hidden position), forming a verb for a specific form of cheating. It is used to describe a player who watches a streamer's live broadcast to gain an unfair advantage, such as learning the streamer's location, strategy, or inventory in real time, then joining the same match to target them. Viewers typically accuse someone of stream sniping when a streamer keeps getting killed by the same opponent in suspicious ways.
