There's a couple of them on Solomid, and Stonewall has written a couple good articles.

TSM role swap? seems odd.
Not too surprising, as it's been a trend for the two solo laners (top and mid) to not be confined to a certain role in order to be flexible in champion pools. We've seen that with C9's Balls and Hai, and also Dignitas to a bit by having KiWiKiD on TF and Scarra on Zed.
It looks like the Udyr skin is coming soon after all, the textures have been posted.

So. EUW Servers down??? Ohh the pleasure playing on EUW.
Edit: Turned out servers where not down. But the client just threw me out of the game. Got back in 15min later and I see my jungler got a DC aswell. And the enemy team only had their top DC'd. They won because of lvl difference... Riot please

... It's rather plain to be honest, but I like the theme.
Seems like you get four new icons when you get Udyr's new skin. Probably one for each of his stances.

Just tried him on the PBE.
The skin is amazing. A lot more than PFE. More effects, etc. Him having 4 stances helps him quite a lot when it comes to effects. Really great skin.
Time to learn to play Udyr!
I want that skin...
and I don't even play LoL anymore
Good thing that I've been playing Udyr some time now in S3. Run Smite/Ghost. Ghost + Bear Stance = No time for people to react. And he gets tanky as hell when you even get slightly ahead. Only problem I've come across this far is when you are the one who is suposed to engage in teamfight. Can't pick Udyr in every comp. Slows punish him so hard it's not even funny. But i guess most of you now that already
Don't forget Lux. One Q and she can run away from your 'gank' using ctrl+4
Wave of fail Udyrs in ranked incoming!
I'm kinda disappointed with how the skin looks(at least in the 4 small clips on the official website). It "just" looks like a VU where his head transforms when an ability gets to rank 5, nothing super special. Me not liking the champion it's for probably doesn't help.
Here are the builds I usually run on Udyr, depending on the situation and stance:
Tiger
Attack Damage reds, Armor yellows, Magic Resist blues (a mix of scaling and flat), Movement Speed Quints
Masteries are 9/21/0, getting the attack speed, AD and armor pen in Offense for maximum shredding, while in Defense, you focus on getting as much defensive stats and anti-CC masteries as possible. His big weaknesses are CC and slows, after all.
The focus of Tiger Udyr is for max damage potential, so that means you're either focusing on ganking a lot or taking out the other jungler. Just make sure that if you gank a lane, that they have some kind of CC/slow and that they're in range to apply them, as Udyr has to run all the way up to someone to do anything. Once he does, though... Tiger is painful.
Also, if you're going for their jungler at their red, save Bear for when they run, so you can catch up and stop them. If you just stun them outright, they'll just bail and you can't stun them for 6 seconds.
Phoenix
Attack Speed reds, Armor yellows, Magic Resist blues (can probably take all scaling as you don't gank as much), Movement Speed quints
Masteries are 0/21/9. You go for defensive stats and anti-CC as usual, but you don't need anything in Offense. Take stuff in Utility like mana regen, shorter summoner spell cooldowns, longer buff durations and so on.
The focus here is to farm and split-push. Obviously you gank too, but I feel Tiger is a lot better at that, because you do so much damage just from one hit. Phoenix Udyr is a GOD at farming and pushing though. His AoE damage is absurd.
Just make sure to practice running and hitting for when you do have to gank/fight, as you need to be able to keep up with your enemy to be able to maximize Phoenix damage. What you do is hit them, run immediately once the hit connects then hit them and keep going like that. And switch between that and Bear for chasing, or that and Turtle to keep yourself alive.
And one more thing; you build Tiger Udyr like a regular bruiser, as in some damage items and some defensive, while Phoenix Udyr is mostly defensive with a bit of attack speed. Phoenix Udyr has good base damage after all, while Tiger needs a bit of AD, but scales really well.

Sorry for that post, Udyr's new skin made me excited.
Grading dont be sorry for a minor wall of text. Many of us will dust off (some basicly learn) udyr, so this small, but informative guide will help us alot
Well, it's less of an actual guide and more like "this is what I do", but thanks anyway.
Though I'm sure there are some more experienced people who are going to come and tell me I'm wrong or something, but I'm fairly certain I got the most important things noted down.
I didn't add any item builds because item builds is my weak point; I'm always unsure about what to build, so I didn't want to "trick" people. Just so you know.
I think the main problem with "bad" Udyr players, is inability to juke skillshots and inability to attack-animation-cancel. Also, body blocks and rushing movement speed items works great (even move speed quints works well).
My problem with Udyr is addiction to level everything, i just can't skip any of spirits, and then i'm confused about what to max first. But usually it is:
farm - phoenix.
ganks - tiger.
tank - turtle.
