Moving from Noesis
Moving from Noesis to Stratbase
Noesis says on its site that it’s shutting down on 31 December 2026. Stratbase is built for amateur to semi-pro CS2 teams who review demos and write their strats in the same place; here’s what it covers, what it doesn’t, and what to grab before Noesis closes.
Free for 7 days, no card.
Nothing imports automatically. There’s no Noesis importer, so notes, stars and your Noesis library stay behind (shared Noesis links don’t include notes or stars either). Download the .dem files you still need and copy your notes across by hand.
