I barely made the cut to get an upgrade. In the end there were 3 upgrades through bidding and 2 upgrades through segments. Fun fact: I remember in that flight, there was Black tier passenger that was fuming at the raw 12 (I assume becase he didn't get the upgrade), asking the business menu and demanding business meals to the crew. F*cking weirdo.
