# Features

The EsportManager and ESM X platform offers a wide variety of gaming features for both web2 and web3 players to play and engage with each other, also to earn money by doing what they love the most - playing video games! 

## How the two platforms will be distinguished? 

> Same, but different.

In order to create the most personalized gaming experience for both crowds while encouraging cross-play, we came up with a happy medium. The EsportManager platform will have a highly visible 'X' toggle button in the middle of the top menu bar.&#x20;

* <mark style="color:red;">**OFF**</mark> - When the toggle button is turned off, only web2 gaming content - basically the original EsportManager - is visible to users. This way, the players refusing web3 gaming will have an unbothered, traditional experience.&#x20;
* <mark style="color:green;">**ON**</mark> - When the toggle button is turned on, the magic happens. The colors and design of the site change and the web3 elements magically appear - games, tournaments, ladders, news, etc.  Although, web3 content will be prioritized, the **web2 content won't disappear** - it's an important feature with the purpose of **attracting web2 users to use the ESM X** "side" more, seducing them with appealing web3 gaming events!&#x20;
