Can the hosts ask the players to switch to a particular mobile device?

We all know that LAN events are usually sponsored by a mobile company. These Mobile companies also tend to provide a specific device to players for competing. We have seen this in the case of PUBG Mobile tournaments like PMWL. Activision could likely do the same thing for further stages i.e. Stage 4 and Stage 5, which may happen offline.

With Sony's Xperia series being an all smartphone lineup, there is a possibility that Activision might force all the tablet players to switch to Sony's devices in the future. This will be hard for the players who have only been playing on tablets or iPads and are not comfortable with playing on smartphones.
