I guess the speculation that all upgrades would be going "battlefield" isn't panning out...
Making such a definitive statement shows a naive understanding of the intricacies with which CO manages their available upgrade inventory. As others have noted, the route, day and time have much more to do than the systemwide quantity of elites with whether you get upgraded in advance, on the battlefield or not at all.
